French
composer, conductor and
teacher, Jules
Semler-Collery
(1902-1988) was born to a
musical father. He
studied at the Paris
Conservatoire where he
won many prizes.
Semler-Collery's works
have been successful,
with many of his
concertos being included
in the Conservatoire's
list of compulsory works.
Reverie and Scherzo for
Clarinet and Piano is no
exception to the
composer's success.
Published in 1950,
Semler-Collery's Reverie
is marked Andantino
Cantabile and is in 6/8
meter. Both the Clarinet
solo line and Piano
accompaniment are
virtousic, exploiting
rhythm, tonality and
harmony. A cadenza-like
passage is heard towards
the end. The Scherzo is
marked Molta Leggiero and
is staccato in 3/4 meter.
Quaver and semiquaver
passages are heard with
the speed accelerating to
a dramatic finale. For
all advanced
clarinetists,
Semler-Collery's Reverie
and Scherzo provides an
exciting performance work
for performers and
audiences alike..
