Tartan Tapestries is an original piece that sets out to emulate Scottish folk music. Composer Larry Clark has created a concert overture in triple meter to capture the essence of music from Scotland. After a lilting first section,  lush and beautiful moments weave a tapestry of sounds with the lyrical, middle section of the piece. There is an optional part for bagpipes, and an optional ending should you chose to use this instrument as part of the piece. Alert your contest music committee about this strong new piece for advancing groups.
Tartan Tapestries was commissioned by Friends of the Arts for the Saint Andrew's School Band in Boca Raton, Florida. The band program at Saint Andrew’s School is under the direction of Andrea Wolgin. The premiere took place on November 29, 2017.When I was asked by their conductor Ms. Wolgin to write a piece for the Saint Andrew’s School, I asked her what kind of involvement she wanted the students to have in the process. We discussed several options for having the students involved in the process of creating with the type of piece they wanted.  We set up a “Skype” meeting with members of the band to discuss the piece. During this discussion, the consensus of the students was that they wanted a piece depicting the Scottish influence to the school. They also wanted a piece that would challenge all sections of the band and to include bagpipes if possible. I asked that the students be involved in helping to name the piece once it was completed, for which they agreed and were very helpful. Armed with this information, I set out to compose a piece for them, and Tartan Tapestries is the result.The piece begins with a fanfare gesture based upon rhythms and harmonies that appear throughout the piece. I chose the lilting triple feel to the piece, to bring about the Scottish flavor. I wanted the fanfare to be bardic sounding, to depict the strength of the Scottish people and for the piece to have a dynamic opening. The fanfare contains material that alludes to the main theme and with a bit of dissonance and tension that is resolved in the main body of the piece.The main theme is a lilting original melody, but one that I hope with have the essence of Scottish folk songs. The main idea is followed by a more modal and dark sounding secondary theme, first stated in the horns. This material is later used in the development section of the piece. The main theme returns several times, with different and varied orchestrations and harmonic treatments. This is followed by a short transition leading to the more lyrical and slower second section of the piece. A transparent presentation of the lyrical theme, which is based on aspects of the main theme, is presented first by a solo flute. This section is a nod to famous composer Malcom Arnold’s wonderful works for orchestra in its style and orchestration. After a transition or bridge section with a solo euphonium, the piece builds to a dramatic climax of the lyrical theme by the full band. This subsides to a return of the solo flute to end this second section of the piece, followed by a transition back the main theme.The solo bagpipes play a central role in the return of the main theme and take center stage after being heard in the distance earlier in the work. The piece brings back a shortened version of the darker secondary theme, followed by a hint of the fanfare material that builds to one last statement of the main theme by the full band, before leading to a dramatic coda to complete the work.It has been my pleasure to have been given the opportunity to compose this piece for the Saint Andrew’s School Band! I thank Andrea Wolgin for making it happen, and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed bringing the piece to life.–Larry ClarkLakeland, Florida 2017.

Solemnity was composed when the composer came back from his first Midwest Clinic in Chicago. Inspired by all the concert bands performing there, and all the fellow composers met at this occasion, he decided to write a kind of fanfare work, leading to a fast theme on a driving rhythm.The piece begins like a fanfare with a solemn character which gives the title of the work, the brass here have a nice part to play. Then, a new theme full of energy, using the same rhythmic motive as the fanfare theme, is exposed by the high woodwinds and finally by more instruments. The central part is a slow one, where a melancolic theme is exposed by the oboe, and finally the rest of the band. After a fugato section, the energic theme is back to lead to a brilliant coda.

Solemnity werd gecomponeerd toen de componist terugkwam van zijn eerste Midwest Clinic in Chicago. Geïnspireerd door alle concertbands die daar optraden en alle collega-componisten die hij bij deze gelegenheid ontmoette, besloot hij een soort fanfarewerk te schrijven, leidend naar een snel thema op een stuwend ritme.Het stuk begint als een fanfare met een plechtig karakter dat de titel van het werk geeft, de koperblazers hebben hier een mooie rol te spelen. Dan volgt een nieuw thema vol energie, gebruikmakend van hetzelfde ritmische motief als het thema van de fanfare, belicht door de hoge houtblazers en tenslotte door meer instrumenten. Het centrale deel is langzaam, waar een melancholisch thema wordt belicht door de hobo en uiteindelijk de rest van de band. Na een fugatogedeelte is het energieke thema terug om te leiden naar een briljante coda.

Solemnity a été composée lorsque le compositeur est revenu de sa première Midwest Clinic à Chicago. Inspiré par tous les orchestres de concert qui s'y produisaient et par tous les collègues compositeurs rencontrés à cette occasion, il a décidé d'écrire une sorte de fanfare, conduisant à un thème rapide sur un rythme entraînant.La pièce commence comme une fanfare avec un caractère solennel qui donne le titre de l'œuvre, les cuivres ont ici un beau rôle à jouer. Ensuite, un nouveau thème plein d'énergie, utilisant le même motif rythmique que le thème de la fanfare, est exposé par les bois aigus et finalement par d'autres instruments. La partie centrale est une partie lente, où un thème mélancolique est exposé par le hautbois, puis par le reste de l'orchestre. Après une section fugato, le thème énergique est de retour pour mener à une brillante coda.

Solemnity wurde komponiert, als der Komponist von seiner ersten Midwest Clinic in Chicago zurückkam. Inspiriert von all den Konzertkapellen, die dort auftraten, und all den Komponistenkollegen, die er bei dieser Gelegenheit traf, beschloss er, eine Art Fanfare zu schreiben, die zu einem schnellen Thema auf einem treibenden Rhythmus führt.Das Stück beginnt wie eine Fanfare mit einem feierlichen Charakter, der dem Werk seinen Titel gibt; die Blechbläser haben hier einen schönen Part zu spielen. Dann folgt ein neues, energiegeladenes Thema, das dasselbe rhythmische Motiv wie das Fanfarenmotiv verwendet und von den hohen Holzbläsern und schließlich von weiteren Instrumenten vorgetragen wird. Der Mittelteil ist ein langsamer Teil, in dem ein melancholisches Thema von der Oboe und schließlich vom Rest des Orchesters vorgetragen wird. Nach einem Fugato-Abschnitt kehrt das energische Thema zurück und führt zu einer brillanten Coda.
