Typically bands that play at this level have some Clarinet players who are comfortable above the break and others who are not. By staying below the break throughout, this light and spirited Clarinet section feature let’s you give the entire section a bit of the limelight. This is a perfect vehicle to help your Clarinet section learn to shape a phrase, and the cheerful melody let’s you program this piece anywhere you like. It’s also a good selection to use to take the pressure off Brasses before a particularly taxing major work. Remind the critically important Clarinet section that you value their efforts as much as any other section. Breezy!

De term ‘chalumeau’ is afkomstig van de naam van een zeventiende-eeuws instrument dat de voorloper was van de huidige klarinet. In Chalumeau on the Go speelt de klarinetsectie in het warme, comfortabele chalumeauregister. Ditlichte, levendige werk helpt uw klarinettisten om goed te fraseren. De vrolijke melodie is geschikt voor elk moment binnen uw concertprogramma (u kunt er eventueel uw koperblazers mee sparen voordat u een werk brengt waarin zijeen grote en zware rol spelen). Dit is een prima werk om uw klarinetsectie te stimuleren.

Ein einfaches, spritziges Stück, mit dem das Klarinettenregister Ihres Blasorchesters mit Leichtigkeit in jedem Sinne glänzen kann! Mit diesem Stück können sich die Klarinetten wunderbar in Phrasierung üben, während die Blechbläser eine Atempause erhalten, die sie vielleicht vor einem weiteren anspruchsvollen Programmpunkt gut gebrauchen können. Die schwungvolle, fröhliche Melodie von Chalumeau on the Go peppt jedes Konzertprogramm auf.

Composer's Notes: This piece, written during the winter months of 2000-2001, consists of one movement, Allegro con fuoco, in which an old score is revisited, raided and ravished by its composer. The earlier music had been written in the mid-fifties for a stage work Maratona di Danza and for its maker, the director Luchino Visconti. Elements from the older piece reappear on and off like shadows under the surface of new ones, like more or less vague memories, images of young people suffering pain and despair in their struggle for survival in a barbaric, pitiless modern world. My new composition is a kind of concerto for very large symphony orchestra, an etude on constant and often rapid musical changes of mood and colours, built on a variety of rhythmic figures, incessantly and brutally pushing the music ahead. Sometimes, it is as though voices are weeping, sometimes crying out loud with pain, with anxiety, under the cold hearted pressure of an overwhelming violence. Hans Werner Henze Commissioned on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of das neue werk, Hamburg. Premiered on 29th June 2001. Duration 15 minutes.
