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

for Solo Bb Clarinet and Piano-Cette oeuvre en deux mouvements pour clarinette et orchestre fut commandée par Musica Reservata vof Belgique et est dédiée à Eddy Vanoosthuyse un bon ami et confrère du compositeur. Elle connut du succès à sa première mondiale le 10 décembre 2008à Salt Lake City (Etats-Unis) interprétée par l?orchestre Utah Philharmonia sous la direction de Robert Baldwin avec Eddy Vanoosthuyse comme soliste. Par la suite l?oeuvre fut mise de côté pendant quelques années surtout parce que les agendaschargés des deux protagonistes ne leur permettaient pas de trouver le temps pour un enregistrement discographique. Pour finir l?oeuvre fut enfin enregistrée en juin 2015 à Nagoya (Japon) avec le Central Aichi Symphony Orchestra mené par l?étoilemontante vénézolane SergioRosales. La même semaine le 12 juin l?oeuvre fut présentée en concert pour la première fois au Japon par les mêmes interprètes et connut ici aussi un grand succès. Après Concerto Doppio pour deux clarinettes et orchestre à cordes composé en 2001 voici la deuxième oeuvre de concert de Jan Van der Roost qui met la clarinette en vedette.Le premier mouvement Doloroso e Contemplativo transmet le côté sérieux de la clarinette et par conséquent il n?y figure presque pas de virtuosité ou de spectacle. Au contraire l?orchestration colorée et variée qui est entrelacée autour de lapartie solo est bien plus qu?un simple accompagnement et prend la forme de partenairemusical d?importance comparable au soliste. Une introduction un peu mystérieuse mène à une première apogée orchestrale en passant par des cellules musicales ascendantes. Ensuite on entend l?entrée du soliste d?abord par des idées musicales plusfragmentaires puis par des lignes mélodiques plus longues. L?orchestre entre en dialogue avec le soliste et son instrumentation délicate et colorée crée un parfait encadrement musical. Vers la fin l?atmosphère du début est réaffirmée et lesoliste finit par la même note par laquelle il avait commencé.Le deuxième mouvement Giocoso e Con Bravura est une toute autre histoire : ici le côté virtuose et parfois presqu?acrobatique de la clarinette est exploré. Des cascades imposantes et continuelles de notes demandent une dextérité exceptionnelleau soliste ce qui à un certain moment et « récompensé » par l?orchestre par un clin d?oeil au « Hallelujah » de Handel ? vraiment mérité après ces feux d?artifice ! De temps en temps l?instrument solo présente une phrase humoristique : laclarinette ne peut pas que chanter briller et pleurer mais aussi rire et plaisanter. Plusieurs passages sont presque caricaturaux ! La palette variée de cet instrument magnifique est démontrée parfaitement parfois avec un brin d?humour oud?ironie. En effet les deux mouvements contrastants de ce concerto démontrent les différentes facettes de l?instrument qui s?est établi sur la scène de musique classique ainsi que la musique légère (quel nom peu prom

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

Barenreiter Urtext Edition of Brahms' Sonatas In F Minor And E-Flat Op.120 for Clarinet and Piano.Features:A pioneering Urtext edition with an extensive Performance Practice CommentaryFor further information on Romantic performance practice we recommend the text booklet: ?Performance Practices in Johannes Brahms? Chamber Music? BA 9600Brahms had already announced his 'retirement' from composition when in the spring of 1894 he played chamber music with the cellist Robert Hausmann and the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld. This encounter renewed Brahms' enthusiasm for Mühlfeld?s muchadmired playing and inspired him to write two new Clarinet sonatas in the summer of the same year. Brahms and Mühlfeld premiered the works and played them in several performances until the Sonatas Op.120 were first published in June 1895. These two works remain pivotal in the Clarinet?s recital repertoire establishing the Clarinet sonata as a distinct and viable chamber music genre.This edition features an extensive preface that informs about the sonatas? origins their compositional process pre-publication performances and their publication history as well as their early reception. Another truly remarkable aspect of this publication is the unique Performance Practice Commentary. Here the editors start from the premise that only a few decades after Brahms' death a widening gulf was already developing between the composer's expectations and the performance practices of the early 20th century. On the basis of manifold sources which include memoirs by pupils and chamber music partners treatises and essays early instructive editions and historical recordings the editors deal with key issues in understanding Brahms' notation. The editors provide an indispensable assistance for a historically informed interpretation of the work through a section-by-section analysis of rhythm and timing dynamics and accentuation dots and strokes slurring and non legato Piano pedalling and overholding Piano arpeggiation and dislocation Clarinet vibrato and portamento. At the same time the edition offers an exciting and often surprising
