Amongst Schubert's dramatic orchestral writing there are some intimate moments of chamber music, including passages for clarinet and harp. Its extremely rare and exciting to find original material for this combination from this era, written by a composer of such standing.
In The Magic Harp Series I have taken extracts for the score where Schubert writes for clarinet and harp, to create stand-alone pieces. In Schuberts score, the music I used for Palmerins Romance is written for clarinet in Bb on the stage, accompanied by the harp from the pit. The same material is used as a tenor aria, accompanied by two bassoons, two horns and harp.
The other pieces in the series are:
'The Spark Caught, the Fire Glows' for clarinet in Bb and harp (or piano)
'The Spark Caught, the Fire Glows' for clarinet in A and harp (or piano)
'Let the Harp Sound' for clarinet in Bb and harp (or piano)
The pieces in the series can be performed together or separately.
