December 31, 20187 yr A clarinet tutor at my uni put together a clarinet choir and was looking for a student here to write a piece. One of the lecturers put my name forward because he felt that my style would fit the group well. So, I tried to just write a piece in my normal kind of slightly jazzy style. I did my usual thing of creating a few motifs and attempting to build a whole piece out of them, seeing which ways I could twist them and play around with them. I haven't yet sent it to the group, I probably will in early 2019.
December 31, 20187 yr What a lovely piece. Lively, energetic, captivating rhythmic changes, smoothly moving harmonic rhythm, superb scoring, translucent / never thick. If I had to describe it non musically I'd say it lets light and air through. Watching the score you've distributed the thematic material very evenly throughout. Most engaging altogether. Wish you all the best with performance. One thing - it's going to keep them on their toes all right! .
January 7, 20197 yr Dude this is absolutely incredible. The way you can maneuver harmonically is spectacular. U opened the floodgates for new modes of musical thought for me. Bravo
