Forsyth's Modern Wind
Music is a series of
volumes containing
exciting and challenging,
but not unduly difficult,
works by talented English
composers of current or
recent vintage for
recital, study or
recreation. Each volume
includes three works with
piano, one unaccompanied
piece, and one piece for
two or more players of
the instrument. In this
volume for clarinet John
Casken's 'Taerset' takes
its title from Tarset in
Northumberland, inspired
by a holiday there, while
Julia Usher's 'Subsequent
Darkness' is inspired by
a game of chess. The solo
work is a capricious
'Arabesque' by Richard
Orton, who also
contributes a quartet for
clarinets that plays on
diaphragm articulation.
David Ellis's 'Berceuse'
is an extended lullaby,
but not without its
troubled dreams.
