This is part of a project composed for a group based on the Old Kent Road in London.They provided some lyrics which I set to music for them (around 1982), but the project never took off.I never met the person to whom the letter was addressed (called Howard Nicholls apparently...)but I got the impression that he did exist and meant a great deal to the group.The words (now lost) certainly brought out a romantic theme within the project.I decided recently that this particular theme would work nicely for a simple clarinet and guitar combinationIt is performed here byBalázs Rumy clarinetAndrás Csáki guitar.

Gone the good days, Pleasure and holidays. Planets in orbit Circle around But you my sweet You will go straight Toward the unknown And overblown with sagging skin and treble chin Heavy with fat and flesh that's slack Come gather ye roses Look ye around, My little one Blossoms abound Let them repose On the slack tide Of every happiness. So, gather them all Or you'll be sure Pride comes before a fall.

Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #2994077. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.533474). Ballade has a late romantic feel reminiscent at times of the songs of Gershwin, jazz blues and even some of the music of Poulenc. The unsettling chords are based on a particular disposition of the guitarist's fingers, which, when transported over from strings 2,3,4,5 to 1,2,3,4 or to 3,4,5,6, each produces different harmonic effects because of the way in which the guitar is tuned (all fourths except for the third between 3 and 2). The clarinet follows the guitarist's wandering harmonies, creating a yearning melody with sighs covering its whole range.

These are the words of the original poem: When autumn harvests are full grown and luscious fruits to me are shown, piled plump and rich till stomachs groan when autumn harvests are full grown ripe juices puddle on the tongue, and winter I forget in gurgling song. once when the fresh new spring was here I lavished though to sow the year oh dreaming seasons never interfere with worldly bounty, scorned the prudent song and prayed March winds to buffet time along Soon in the heat of summer haze I floundered on through deep green maize, where heavy herds lowed as they grazed, I saw that I would reap in thought among the rich; and time moved on with busy song, now in the heat of summer Now winter creeps between the sashes and rain upon the window lashes while wild wind moans round rafters dashes and I to annual poverty belong, yet know that spring flows richly on in song When autumn harvests are full grown and luscious fruits to me are shown, piled plump and rich till stomachs groan when autumn harvests are full grown ripe juices puddle on the tongue, and winter I forget in gurgling song.

Small Ensemble Clarinet,Guitar - Digital Download SKU: A0.576904 Composed by David Warin Solomons. 20th Century,Contemporary,Folk,World. Score and parts. 14 pages. David Warin Solomons #506803. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.576904). Instrumental arrangement of my classical-folk crossover setting of Prévert's poem Pour faire le portrait d'un oiseau (To paint the portrait of a bird).  Prévert indicates that you can never capture the real essence of a bird. You can paint a cage, a tree branch for it to sing on, but you have to wait for the actual bird itself to enter your painting - only then can you sign your painting, using a feather from that bird. The music has a Dorian feel - ie with a minor third and seventh but often with a raised sixth - (in this case F#s in an otherwise A minor context). I have provided full score and separate parts and also the melody instrument part with chord names, to enable the guitarist to read along with the melody instrument player and opt for interpretations other than the notated version (eg strumming, rasgueado etc). The sound sample is an electronic preview. My live performance of the original song can be heard on youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkjYONGdicI

Instrumental Duet Clarinet,Guitar,Instrumental Duet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.531683 Composed by C.M. von Weber (1786-1826). Arranged by Klas Krantz. Classical,Concert. Score and parts. 2 pages. Amadeus Music #5281. Published by Amadeus Music (A0.531683). Carl Maria von Weber (1786 –1826) was a German composer, conductor, pianist, guitarist and critic, one of the first significant composers of the Romantic school. This Romanze is very similar to Sicilienne in E-flat major by M.T. von Paradis. It is however spurious, as it is believed to have been composed by its purported discoverer, Samuel Dushkin, who probably used Weber's Romanze an inspiration for his composition.
