Product Description

This is a programmatic piece for clarinet and piano based on 1 John 4:1-6, in which the apostle John warns the early church to discern the true spirit of God from false spirits of the antichrist. In the beginning, the soloist introduces the "God melody," a pure and simple line. The next section, depicting the false spirits, takes this melody and turns it into what starts as cutesy and endearing, but ends up into an awkward and chaotic mess. God asserts Himself in the next section, bringing the chaos to a halt. Then, the false spirits try to steal the spotlight again, but they fail, of course. The Lord always triumphs, and His sheep know their Shepherd when they hear His voice. About 6 minutes long, written in fall 2018.
