By Budapest Scoring Clarinet Ensemble. By Johannes Ciconia. Arranged by David Warin Solomons. Medieval. Full Performance. Duration 177. David Warin Solomons #914801. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.1326659).

Instrumental arrangement of a three-voice Italian madrigal by Johannes Ciconia (1370 - 1412), which was written to celebrate the visit of the nobleman Lazzaro Guinigi from Lucca to Ciconia's employer Giangaleazzo Visconti in Padua in 1399.

The lyrics are intended to flatter their guest by referring to the mythical founding of his city, Lucca, by an armored panther (or leopard), in the company of the war-god Mars.
The celebration of the creature’s strong defence of the city was intended to encourage Lazzaro to accept terms for a political and military alliance between Lucca and Padua.

The first stanza and ritornello have the following words in the original madrigal:
Una panthera in compagnia de Marte
Candido Jove d'un sereno adorno
Constant è l arme chi la guarda intorno.
Dando a ciaschun mortal che ne sia degno
Triumpho, gloria e parte in questo regno.

By Budapest Scoring Clarinet Ensemble. By William Shield. Arranged by David Warin Solomons. 19th Century. Full Performance. Duration 130. David Warin Solomons #914791. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.1326649).

Instrumental trio based on The Loadstars by William Shield
This lovely trio is a curiously out of context setting by William Shield of words from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream
In Shield's setting the three voices simply admire a beautiful woman, in enticing harmonies - a fine piece of music deservedly part of the repertoire of trios everywhere

O happy fair,
Your eyes are lodestars and your tongue sweet air:
More tuneable than lark to shepherd's ear,
When wheat is green, when hawthorn buds appear.

A canon style hangover song after this poem by Gavin Ewart:

It's so unfair that alcohol makes you fat
and feel next day like a half-dead bat
the Devil's at the bottom of this
it's understood
'cos you would expect something so nice
to be terribly terribly good for you

This is based on a well-known French canon concerning a seller of coco (a refreshing drink of liquorice and lemon water)
This particular seller sold his goods when they were not really fresh.

The coco sellers were active in the 18th and 19th Centuries, especially in Paris and Brussels but the custom faded out by the beginning of the 20th century (presumably with the advent of ice cream and ice lolly (popsicle) sellers)

I have made these variations on the canon for advanced players, including beatbox and flutter tongue techniques - and just for fun - a bit of stamping. In the middle there is a bit of Klezmer
and a slight detour into Polly Wolly Doodle, which returns at the end
