Pierre Max Dubois: Quatuor (Clarinets 4)

Composed by Pierre-Max Dubois ,  Quartuor  is a really energetic and melodious piece for four Bb Clarinets. Lasting approximately 10 minutes, it is divided into four distinct parts: 1. Allegretto, 2. Allegro, 3. Pastorale and 4. Musette. During the whole piece, the Clarinets complete each other’s part on this fast work. The first part has a repetitive theme with some variations while the second one seems to be playing more on the aspects of the low and high ranges. The “Pastorale” section is slower and slightly less cheerful. The piece ends on the “Musette” which brings back some energy before the end. This piece would be perfect to play during a concert or a recital. Pierre Max Dubois (1930-1995) was a French composer who was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1955. Mainly composing classical music, his works are mainly for woodwinds. He is one of the founder of the Les Six and which included his professor, Darius Milhaud.

After You've Gone

Here's a nice change-of-pace swing tune that will work great for contest or concerts. The tempo is relaxed just enough to make it easy for younger groups to handle comfortably. Plenty of tutti ensemble playing and lush harmonies.

Max

There is never a lack of attitude from the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra as evidenced by this bluesy shuffle from their CD Shout Me Out. With the saxes on the head, complemented by screaming ensemble punches and a tempo that'sjust right, you have a formula for a real winner! Solos for tenor, trumpet and drums.

Work Song

Written in a medium-tempo, swing style, the saxes take the lead in the beginning answered by screaming brass figures. Soprano sax and a solo trombone engage in an ongoing bluesy dialogue interspersed with swingin' passages for theentire band. All masterfully arranged by Sy Johnson.Recorded live by the Mingus Big Band

Work Song

One of the signature tunes of the Cannonball Adderley Quintet, composed by Nat Adderley, this well-known jazz standard remains as popular today as when it first came out in 1960. Arranged here in a solid even eighth note feel, this is an appealing choice for any concert.

Birk'S Work

A classic minor blues tune from Dizzy Gillespie, Mike Tomaro starts this version as a funky mambo but then shifts the style to swing and finally back again to the mambo. This well-paced chart features a great feel plus solos for trumpet and tenor.

Barry Guy: After The Rain

After the Rain for String Orchestra, draws on Max Ernst's disturbing painting Europe After the Rain which depicts the bleak remains of a landscape left after some inexplicable catastrophe.The work was commissioned by the City of London Sinfonia and first performed in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London 1992.

Sound Goes Round

Gilbert Tinner has written another sure fire winner with this catchy new work in a relaxed musical style.The sound of the piece, with it’s simple musical lines, dissonant harmonies and driving beat, is in a pop style but could equally have come straight from a west-end musical. Sound Goes Round will make a delightful light interlude for any concert.

Max Reger: Sonatas And Pieces For Clarinet And Piano (Urtext)

Eight years after he had composed his first two Clarinet Sonatas op. 49, Reger confessed in a letter to a friend that he was once again committing "a new crime against harmony and counterpoint". He was referring to the Sonata for Clarinet and Pianoforte op. 107. Reger made a point of not destroying the chamber music character of the work by having too much virtuosic padding. "Brahms developed classic examples of what the style was meant to be like". Alongside the sonatas, Henle's Urtext edition also contains two charming "encores": a Tarantella in g minor and an Album Leaf in E flat major. The Sonata op. 49,2 is for clarinet in A. The other pieces are for clarinet in B flat.
