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

This new series of books targets the Quick Study head on: all freshly composed pieces with the exam kept firmly in mind. It is not a solution in itself nor a means of short-circuiting the skills you will need to develop but a practice tool to steer you in the right direction. The initial pieces are prefaced by a guide page to help you sift out the nitty-gritty in the music. Come the big day you should feel confident alert and more able to respond to the challenge in a measured systematic way. It's all about making the most of the five minutes you'll be given focussing on what is indispensible in the musical text and just as importantly gauging whichsurface details you can afford to leave out; essentially the skill is seeing the wood for the trees and keeping up the concentration.

The infamous Six Cello Suites by J. S. Bach are perfectly arranged for the Clarinet by French clarinetist Ulysse Delécluse (1907-1995). Bach originally composed the Cello Suites some of the most recognisable and frequently performed solo compositions ever written for the instrument during the period 1717-1723 when he served as Kapellmeister in Köthen. Delécluse's adaptions for Clarinet (1965) include phrase marks dynamic markings articulation and performance directions. Delécluse's adaptions are flawless making the notoriousSuites enjoyably accessible for the Clarinet.

Born in southern France Auguste Périer (1883-1947) studied at the Ecole Nationale de Musique in Montpellier before entering the Paris Conservatoire. Whilst studying he won the 1904 first prize for Clarinet proving his significant ability on the instrument. Therefore his Complete Study of the Clarinet is very well-informed. The eighth volume of the series 20 Virtuosic Studies is suitable for clarinetists of grades seven and eight standard. It addresses features including articulation dynamics scales arpeggios accidentals ornamentation performance directions tempo markings phrasing key and timesignatures and complex rhythms among other aspects. Périer's Complete Study of the Clarinet (20 Virtuosic Studies) is essential to advanced clarinetists seeking to improve their technique to a high standard.

This collection of pieces gleaned from the unaccompanied works of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) will broaden the horizons of the amateur student and professional musicians alike. It is intended that these transcriptions serveas a teaching aid; helping in study of form phrasing style and other aspects of making music. In addition they may also be utilized for the purpose of performance. It should be noted that some register adjustments have beeninstituted to better suit the range limitations of the clarinet. I have tried my best to be as faithful as possible to Bach's original compositions striving for consistency and continuity of line. All editorial markings (trills dynamics articulations etc.) are solely the editors and are of course open to interpretation. The first set of pieces (Partita BWV 1013) is heavily edited to show that keeping within the standard performance practice of theBaroque style experimentation is expected and encouraged.
