“Melo
dic charm, bel canto
sensibility,
impressionist harmony
à la
Française and jazz
rhythm influences unite
in this quartet for three
B-flat Clarinets and Bass
Clarinet. Yellow Green
was premiered on July
23rd, 2013 at the Teatro
Municipal de
Niterói (Rio de
Janeiro) by the musicians
of the Omega Quartet:
Maurício Silva,
Deusiel da Cunha de
Souza, Diego Abreu and
Mateus Falkemback (bass
clarinet). Approxima
tely 9 minutes in length,
the title ' Yellow Green
' is a tribute to the two
colours of the Brazilian
flag. The introduction
gives way to a vast Fugue
(marked Vivace) dipped in
the colours of swing. The
central Adagio floats a
dreamy, timeless melody.
The brief finale brings
together the fugue's
thematic material with
one last recommendation
for the performers: 'Feel
jazz'. This invigorating
work was recorded for the
Chant de Linos label by
its dedicatees, the Omega
Quartet
clarinetists.&rdquo.
