Music Composer's Note: My
inspiration for Smiling
Dennis is the great bass
clarinet virtuoso Dennis
Smylie. I have had the
pleasure of getting to
know Dennis over the past
several years owing to
our mutual affiliation at
Montclair State
University. We would meet
unintentionally in the
halls and begin
conversations regarding
all manners of topics:
from the colorful history
of the bass
clarinet—and bass
clarinetists—to
the furious appetite of
the New Jersey groundhog.
Dennis inevitably finds
the humor in
things—he revels
in discovering the comic
story that can often be
found, just underneath
the topic. When Maestro
Hostetter asked me to
compose a new piece
during his initial season
with the Colonial
Symphony, and mentioned
the possibility of a work
related to humor, I
immediately thought of
the Dennis. When I spoke
with Maestro Hostetter
the following day, I had
already conceived of the
title (very unusual for
me—I’m much
more a musical/visual
thinker than a verbal
one) as well as the
overall musical
narrative. Smiling Dennis
is a concerto in one
movement for one bass
clarinetist and twenty
string players. Somewhat
unusually, each performer
has a unique musical
assignment—that
is, the string players
are not aligned into
their typical alliances
of first violins, second
violins and so forth.
This permits a more
complex string texture,
allowing each performer
to assert his or her
individuality. Indeed,
the notion of
individuality is
essential to this
concerto, as it often is
in concerti. For example,
Smiling Dennis begins
with the bass clarinet
not quite obeying the
conventions of tuning to
the orchestra. Rather
than simply take the A
offered by the
Concertmaster, the
soloist playfully
performs a gently
descending series of
notes. Offered another A,
the soloist repeats this
gesture (though with a
different descending
series). This exchange
occurs four times. In the
final one, members of the
string orchestra join the
soloist in the first
significant statement of
one of the central
melodies. The bass
clarinet completes this
introductory section
alone, playing all the
way down to a low A, a
third below the lowest
note in the celli.
Following the
introduction, Smiling
Dennis consists of six
sections, somewhat along
the lines of a dance
suite: an energetic
Allegro, a lyric Arioso,
a forward Piú mosso, a
light-hearted and
syncopated dance, a even
more energetic passage
for strings alone, and
finally a modified return
to the introduction. In
the return, the string
ensemble is no longer at
all oppositional to the
soloist. Rather, in
response to the
soloist’s gentle
cajoling and supportive
commentary, the strings
accompany—with
pleasure, you might
say—the quiet,
individual playfulness of
the bass clarinet. The
work ends with a return
to the soloist’s
substratum A, accompanied
quietly by the
strings. $50.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

Being
interested in certain
aspects of popular music,
I became aware of several
similarities between
popular Neapolitan
melodies and the
Argentinean tango.
Napolitango is
based on an imaginary
journey to Naples and
Buenos Aires. In
retaining certain
characteristics of the
original music,
Napolitango
embodies an inspiration
and an almost
theatrically passionate
character which is common
to these two
genres. The piece has
been composed for the
Parisian Festival
Paris Banlieues
