Arrangeur: Charles Salinger. Par TCHAIKOVSKY PYOTR ILYICH. One of the important works likely to appear on any clarinetist's audition list is Tchaikovsky's homage to his music idol, Mozart. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Mozart's Don Giovanni, Tchaikovsky chose a number of the master's lesser-known pieces, wrapping them in his own signature arranging and orchestration. Clarinetist Charles Salinger has created his own transposition of the clarinet part for Clarinet in A, now an indispensable tool in the clarinetist's arsenal. Northeastern Music now makes this part readily available./ Répertoire / Clarinette en La

Andy Statman discusses the background techniques and stylistic nuances needed to perform Klezmer correctly regardless of your instrument.

Out Of The Cradle Endlessly Rocking 'Wave Music' (2007-08) by Per Nørgård. Scored for Clarinet Violin Cello and Piano. Parts available: WH30883A Programme note The work was commissioned by the Ebb and Flow Ensemble for premiere at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center Kahului Hawaii 23 November 2008. The premiere performers will be (as of 241108: were) Scott Anderson clarinet Ignace Jang violin Mark Votapek cello and Robert Pollock piano.The title is borrowed from the first line of American poet Walt Whitman’s magnificent poem SEADRIFT a tribute to the sea. The poem forms part of Whitman’s magnum opus LEAVES OF GRASS which he revised extended and worked on practically all his writing life.I had previously drawn some lines from the poem SEADRIFT for another work of mine a work likewise entitled SEADRIFT (1978) for soprano and ensemble.In this present new piece I did not set out to depict in music ‘the soul of the sea’ or anything like that. I did however have an intention of making the piece a sort of outstretched hand from one small country with a multitude of islands and – necessarily – a lot of water around it (I am referring of course to my native Denmark) to another country with many islands: Hawaii with its far-away exotic appeal (at least for a Scandinavian) and its remoteness thousands and thousands of nautical miles away. Folkloristic Hawaiian chant (alluring samples of which were kindly forwarded to me from the commissioner of the work) fascinated and impressed me so much that my melodic repertoire in the new piece sometimes echo a Hawaiian Melodybrother.A latent wave-character is characteristic of the piece. You will hear a simultaneity of different ‘wavelengths’ and often a dense and complex melodic and rhythmic

Par DRUEL GUILLAUME. Animaux minute, ce sont 60 pièces très courtes (1 à 2 minutes) pour clarinette seule, prévues pour accompagner un élève dès le début de son apprentissage, et tout au long de sa progression jusqu'aux niveaux les plus avancés. Ce n'est pas une méthode d'apprentissage, mais une série de 'vignettes', dans lesquelles on pourra choisir un morceau pour une audition, un examen... ou juste pour le plaisir. Au fil des morceaux apparaissent çà et là des éléments particuliers du langage musical, certains communs à nombre d’instruments, d’autres plus spécifiques à la clarinette. Par exemple, et dès la première page, on trouvera des appoggiatures brèves, et aussi une portée sans indication de mesure... Plus loin une note piquée, une syncope, puis deux... Tiens, un quintolet, tiens, un doigté spécial, Ici un '3 pour 2', un trille... Là, une douzième, une cadence, un do bémol... donc ça existe ? Il faut croire ! Et plus loin, un Flatter... quoi ? Ah ? Ici on joue à la croche, plus tard on jouera à la blanche, à la blanche pointée... Ces petites découvertes sont distillées une par une, 'tranquillamente', couche après couche, et elles sont là non pas comme un simple prétexte d'exercice, mais parce qu'elles sont nécessaires à la musique. Les animaux proposent souvent leur rythme, leur chant, leur activité frénétique ou lente ; il y a leur milieu (l'eau, l'air qui ondulent...), leur localisation (l'Orient, l'Afrique et leurs parfums...); autant de pistes que j'ai pu suivre comme sources d'inspiration. Tout ce petit monde, tous ces petits mondes organisent le temps, le remplissent et le vident. Et organiser le temps, ne serait-ce pas ça, la musique ? Nous sommes principalement des tubes où passent des aliments, avec quelques appendices autour pour organiser la collecte desdits aliments. Chez les humains, ces appendices permettent aussi de jouer des instruments de musique. Guillaume Druel Les pièces sont présentées en 3 volumes : Volume 1 (Cycle 1) pièces 1 à 20 - durée 26 minutes Volume 2 (Cycle 2) pièces 21 à 40 - durée 28 minutes 30 Volume 3 (Cycle 3 et plus) pièces 41 à 60 - durée 28 minutes/ Recueil / Clarinette Bb
