Par RAE JAMES. James Rae's eminently successful tutor Introducing the Clarinet was the first of its kind providing the complete beginner with material in popular styles yet allowing for a sound musical development along traditional lines. Now, complementing the tutor, James Rae has produced these three volumes to introduce the beginner clarinettist to ensemble playing. The parts are of the same technical level and are written, with hints and tips along the way, to familiarize the beginner with a new set of considerations and become a good team player. Each of the volumes contains: • easy pieces introducing the various aspects of music making with others • all parts are in the low register • especially suited to group teaching • ideal material for concerts and examinations/ Recueil / 3 Clarinettes

Ces huit pièces ont été sélectionnés d'une collection de musique du XVIIIe siècle pour trois clarinettes. Le titre original se lit comme suit: ' Partia a Tre '. La collection se compose de trente pièces courtes, tous les anonymes, sauf pour le numéro un dans ce livre. ' Di Rösser ' est probablement Valentin Roeser, clarinettiste, compositeur et auteur de ' Essai d'instruction à l'usage de ceux qui composent pour la clarinette et le cor' (1764). / 3 Clarinettes

Par POOT MARCEL. Belgian composer, Marcel Poot (1901-1988) was a professional composer, professor and musician. He studied at the Belgian Conservatory and went on to attain success as an organist and composer. His substantial compositions for wind and brass are still performed to this day, Trio for 3 Clarinets being no exception. In 1925, Poot and several of his contemporaries founded 'The Synthetists', a group to rival 'Les Six' in France. They wished to inject dynamicism in to the conservative Belgian music scene through the composition of modern pieces. Trio for 3 Clarinets reflects this, whilst maintaining recognisablemusical elements. Poot 's Trio is made up of three movements; 1) Allegretto grazioso, 2) Tempo di Barcarola, and 3) Allegro giocoso. For advanced clarinetists, Poot 's Trio for 3 Clarinets is an exciting addition to the ensemble repertoire./ Répertoire / 3 Clarinettes
