OmarSanchez Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 hi! My director wants me to do a solo. bold= prefer piano and clarinet clarinet bass clarinet bass clarinet and piano those are acceptable submissions. 2-3 mins. in length not easy but not hard any form. cl/bcl multiphonics, ok but not too many. deadline is soon, I need this ASAP. winner will be recognized and awarded a mp3 recording (most likely) and 2 honorable mentions! Due:May 15th 2009 concert is may 26 :sadtears:
James H. Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Like... clarinet... alone? Not accompaniment, at all? That is your preference? How comfortable is your altissimo on bass clarinet? How about your break navigation? I can play quite agilely up to written A above the staff (I mean the REALLY high one) would you feel comfortable letting me assume you can play anything I can? Is a pianist easily available? I can write a very simple piano part - so long as the person is comfortable reading sophisticated chords (not quickly)
musicman02 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 So you prefer no accompaniment? That's new. Ok I will see what I can do.
OmarSanchez Posted May 5, 2009 Author Posted May 5, 2009 I can hit high notes comfortably on bass clarinet. pianist is available, but learning something is difficult last min. which is why I prefer no accomp.
OmarSanchez Posted May 5, 2009 Author Posted May 5, 2009 So you prefer no accompaniment? That's new. Ok I will see what I can do. there is many pieces like that.
Jimmyjuicin Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 How fast can you tongue, as in how many bpm for 16th notes?
Dead Chicken Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Having a set deadline seems to help my compositional output, so I will give this a shot. It is also a chance to practice woodwind writing. Sooo.. how are you handling submissions?
austinyip Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I do have a piece with clarinet solo for about 3 minutes long, how would you like to have it?
composerorganist Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Omar - I have an easier clarinet solo piece that I am revising for you - only question - how can you handle fast consecutive leaps of 9th in the top register? meter 6/8 tempo dotted quarter = 72-84. EDIT - I'd rather you just consider mine a back-up piece (well, that is if you even like it!!!) to whatever you choose. I have written a quite a few pieces for clarinet so I may have a slight advantage over composers who have not written for clarinet.
musicman02 Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 there is many pieces like that. I am very well aware of that I meant for me to write.
OmarSanchez Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 .mus 2009 or before to my email: ipmodsdocs@gmail.com CC to omar@ipmods.net CO, Leaps! I love leaps! XD I like playing them. :P
composerorganist Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Omar - Ok I sent you the clarinet solo today. E-mail me with any questions. I ended up sending you three e-mails - just print the attachment from the third and most recent e-mail. Score in PDF format as I don't have Finale or can convert to a mus file Chris
Dead Chicken Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Omar, I sent you my submission, let me know if it comes through or if you have questions. (It is a 2004 .MUS, so it "should" work.)
OmarSanchez Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 Got it. No finale on this computer but will take a look at it on my other computer.
OmarSanchez Posted May 24, 2009 Author Posted May 24, 2009 If those were all the entries, well...I'll judge now......but no performance since I have been waiting long for other entries so just a competition for fun, I guess.
Thefury2600 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 So we can still enter the contest, just for fun now?
