As I sit myself down to write this brief foreword I ask myself can there be music more stirring than these old Cornish folk melodies? Though not Cornish myself (I confess to being born a little further up the road in Bristol) I feel I have spent sufficient time in these 'ere parts to resonate with the sturdy brass band tradition that continues to permeate this incomparably beautiful rugged county. One can almost detect a French 'accent' when listening to the piano music of Debussy and likewise speaking as a lapsed brass player there is undoubtedly something of the Cornish twang about Trelawny when played on a cornet or euphonium. Then again one gets a different yetentirely convincing effect upon hearing these melodies rendered on woodwind instruments; hence with a little gamesmanship on my part I am pleased to see my collection of these fifteen delectable ditties come to fruition in the form of arrangements for treble clef brass instruments (in B flat and E flat) trombone and tuba (bass clef) horn in F flute clarinet and bassoon.While many will find themselves humming the likes of Going up Camborne Hill Lamorna or The Helston Furry Dance even before they have turned to the first page - for these are indelibly intertwined with Cornish culture I wonder if I might draw your attention to The Cornish Squire The Pool of Pilate and Cold Blows the Wind Today Sweetheart which are quite simply sublime melodies perhaps needing that extra bit of help in bringing them to mind nowadays. In the best tradition of musical hand-me-downs Cornish folk music works equally ideally sung and played and only by doing so on a regular basis can such traditions hope to continue forward with vigour and authority. A legitimate way of achieving this is to revitalise the harmonic scheme of these ancient tunes and bring them up to date for a modern audience; after all it was such an approach that fuelled the imagination of Benjamin Britten and Ralph Vaughan Williams in decades past while skilfully paying homage to the

For solo Clarinet in Bb and Ensemble.Clarinet and Piano Reduction.Commissioned by the Tanglewood Music Center through the generous support of the Mervyn Geffen M.D. and Norman Solomon M.D. New CommissionsFund.First performance by Brent Besner Clarinet and fellows of the Tanglewood Music Center August 2010.1. With Vigour2. Free and Enigmatic3. CalmoThere is usually some sort of extra-musicalstarting point for my pieces and for the Clarinet Concerto this was ‘The Cracked Bell’ by Baudelaire. In a short space of time the work seemed to take over and move further away the original stimulus with the character andinteractive roles of the soloist and ensemble were suggested by the wintry evocative atmosphere of the poem.The piece opens with declamatory cadenza-like passages in the clarinet that are in turn commented on by theensemble. A more playful section where the clarinet line is very virtuosic leads to a long gently-unfolding melody in the ensemble that begins in the depths of the bass register and gradually gets much higher. Virtuosicclarinet lines interject against the accompaniment and both pursue their own course until culminating in a high impassioned melody for the clarinet coloured by fast-moving passage work in the higher registers of ensemble. Themovement ends with the ‘call and response’ lines of its opening.The second movement opens with an extended solo for the clarinet in its haunting chalumeau register. With each rising phrase the clarinet line gets higheruntil the ensemble enters in unison. The movement becomes much faster and energetic from this point with brisk fleeting lines for soloist and ensemble.The third movement is the most reflective of the three. It opens witha flute solo leading to the solo clarinet line and makes much of the poignant singing style which is so characteristic of the instrument. A melancholy falling passage in the ensemble becomes a recurring feature before the

Sometimes referred to as the Stadler Quintet Clarinet Quintet KV 581 is Mozart's only completed Clarinet Quintet and was written in 1789 for the clarinetist Anton Stadler.   This idyllic flowing piece was originally written for basset Clarinet but is almost always played on a Clarinet in A or B-flat. It remains to this day one of the composer's most admired works.   The work is arranged here for Clarinet and Piano.  

The Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra was written in October 1791 about two months before Mozart's death and destined for Anton Stadler the famous clarinettist. The first movement exists in a sketch in G major for Basset Horn and Orchestra composed towards the end of 1789.This edition has been published in two versions: in the original in A for Clarinet in A and in a transposed version in B-Flat for Clarinet in B-Flat in order to comply with the popular request for that instrument. Available here is the version for Clarinet in B-Flat as arranged by Ernest Roth and revised by Frederick J. Thurston.

One of the more well-established bass clarinet solos in the repertoire. A popular one movement sectional piece that is at turns lyrical and rhythmic.

The clarinet compared with the flute oboe and bassoon is a modern instrument and therefore little or no music written before the time of Mozart exists for it. This is a misfortune for it means that a golden age of music which included Handel and Bach and a host of lesser but admirable composers has hitherto been a closed book to clarinetists.This delightful little work is a free arrangement of movements taken from two of Tartini?s sonatas for Violin arranged for Clarinet and String Orchestra by Gordon Jacob. This is the version for Clarinet with Piano Accompaniment. The solo clarinet part is also included on a separate insert.
