Product Description
Forsyth's Modern Wind Music series contains exciting and challenging, but not unduly difficult, works by talented English composers of current or recent vintage for recital, study or recreation. Each volume includes three works with piano, one unaccompanied piece, and one piece for two or more players of the instrument.
In this volume for clarinet John Casken's Taerset takes its title from Tarset in Northumberland, inspired by a holiday there, while Julia Usher's Subsequent Darkness is inspired by a game of chess. The solo work is a capricious Arabesque by Richard Orton, who also contributes a quartet for clarinets that plays on diaphragm articulation. David Ellis' Berceuse is an extended lullaby, but not without its troubled dreams.
Contents:
- Berceuse by David Ellis
- Taerset by John Casken
- Subsequent Darkness by Julia Usher
- Arabesque by Richard Orton
- Sonora by Richard Orton (for four clarinets)
