â??French composer and conductor, Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Three Divertissements for Clarinet Quartet in 1964. As with his other wind compositions, Three Divertissements was well-received by audiences. Tomasi was born in Marseille, but his Father and Mother were originally from La Casinca in Corsica. Despite being pressured into musical studies by his parents, Tomasi dreamed of becoming a sailor, and during the summer, he stayed with his Grandmother in Corsica where he learnt traditional Corsican songs. However, in 1921, he began his studies at the Paris Conservatoire and went on to become a high profile composer and conductor. Tomasi did not forget his Corsican routes, often incorporating themes of the songs he had learnt during the summers with his Grandmother into his compositions. The Three Divertissements are named; 1) Proceedings, 2) Masquerade, and 3) Rounds. This Tomasi piece is suitable to an advanced Clarinet Quartet, providing an exciting alternative addition to the ensemble repertoire.â?.

During a period of merciless deadlines, working on PLAYTIME 4 CLARINETS turned out to be an excellentway of release.

A Klezmer Wedding is a set of four dances, newly composed but based on traditional models. The Doina is an expressive chant for three successive soloists; it twists and turns with the wailing lament of a shepherd's pipe. Next follows the Hora, a slow Rumanian dance in three with a mood that reflects the wedding's solemn vows. A Chusidl, with a moderate speed and bouncy rhythms, gets the party to the dance floor. The concluding Freylach (happy, but still in a minor key!) takes the bride, groom, and guests to the edge of frenzy. Arranged for four clarinets with optional strings. Compatible with the following arrangements: item #01-ADV6401 (string quartet), item #01-ADV8405 (woodwind quartet), and item #01-ADV8406 (clarinet quartet). Titles include: Doina * Hora * Chusidl * Freylach.

The four parts of this fresh work, Mexican Fantasies by Mike Curtis, are delicately interwoven. Alternating between melancholy-solemn and lively, the movements tell of festivities under the starry sky, of wonderful friendships, or even a tale of the queen of the tropics.

This suite is drawn from the composer's new score for the vintage 1928 silent comedy of the same name starring Charlie Bowers. The original film score runs 20 minutes and is scored for piccolo, sopranino recorder, 2 soprano recorders, ocarina, oboe, English horn, Eb clarinet, Bb clarinet, 2 bass clarinets, contrabass clarinet, banjo, slide whistle, saw, glockenspiel, percussion, toy piano, 3 melodicas, accordion, and piano. Here it has been pared down to 11 minutes and rescored for clarinet quartet. Synopsis of the wonderfully weird film: Scotland Yard detective Charley MacNeesha carries his constant companion MacGregor--who is either a hairy insect or a buggy-looking mouse--in a matchbox. The pair travels to New York to solve the case of the Fuzz-Faced Phantom who causes full-grown chickens to hatch from eggs, pots to rain from the ceiling, and pants to dance of their own volition in a surrealist comedy that anticipated Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel's An Andalusian Dog by more than a year.

Despite its song-like melody, this is most decidedly not a piece of music of quiet and peaceful tones. A Ballad for Ruby has an element of contrast and suspense that brings it to life. This composition calls for emotion, expressiveness, and homogeneous ensemble playing.
