Bb Clarinets In 4 Parts-Alan Bullard wrote these two short pieces in 1992 for massed clarinets in a pupils' concert but they are equally suited to a quartet of clarinets. The Fanfare gives an opportunity for all players to move together in precise rhythm: the Canon gives scope for rhythmic independence but with musical material that all players can learn together. The lowest part of the Fanfare and the optional two-part canon do not go above the break and the pieces are suitable for beginners to intermediate players.AB This music was previously published by Harlequin Music.

Laurie Holloway says: 'Joie de Vivre reflects exactly how I was feeling at the time of composition. I felt full of the good life and happy to be alive. Fortunately I still feel that way. It was originally a solo for me on piano and then it was performed on television by a flautist accompanied by me and now it is where it should be with your clarinet quartet. The movements are all joyful and will hopefully reflect your 'Joie de Vivre' '.
