Clarinet Quartet,Woodwind Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1314203 By Hugh Levey. By Gustav Holst. Arranged by Hugh Levey. 20th Century,Advent,Chamber,Christmas,Religious. 15 pages. Woodwindly.com #902939. Published by woodwindly.com (A0.1314203). Clarinet Quartet - 3 x Clt. & Bass Clt. (or 4 x Clt.)In the Bleak Mid-Winter is a popular Christmas Carol which has been set to music by both Gustav Holst and Harold Darke. This clarinet quartet arrangement is based on the Holst version and combines the composer's beautifully simple harmony with the arranger's own counter-melodies and intricate wind writing. Lovely writing for all instruments. An ideal work for Christmas concert programming.This is a through-composed instrumental arrangement that explores the melody and harmonies of the Holst hymn in 3 differently arranged verses. After a short introduction the first verse uses Holst’s original 4-part harmonisation in its beautiful simplicity, with clarinet 1 playing the melodic line. In verse 2, clarinet 3 presents the tune in a lower register while the bass (or 4th) clarinet plays a Baroque style ‘walking bass’. The first and second clarinets weave countermelodies above them, introducing new material for a Pachelbel-like interlude of an ascending sequence - bringing the music to a climax before subsiding into verse 3. Here a slightly ornamented version of the tune returns with the new material continuing in the bass line. After another smaller climax we return to the original Holst as the work ends quietly and thoughtfully.

EMK Music #934197. Published by EMK Music (A0.1349442). It is appropriate that this arrangement of ‘Hava Nagila’ starts with the Clarinet playing the melody since ‘Klezmer Clarinet style’, like the tune itself, is an integral part of Jewish culture. Although there are lyrics, the tune has gained considerable  wider  universal popularity as a dance that moves inexorably to an exciting and  exhausting climax.

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Bass Clarinet - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1202930 Composed by Paula Goodwin. Chamber,Contemporary. 16 pages. JPM Services #801662. Published by JPM Services (A0.1202930). An original piece for Bass Clarinet quartet in three movements. The first movement is in a lively march style, as the tune gets shared around the four parts it builds to a stiring climax. The second movements is a slow sad waltz before moving to a rymthmicaly complicated fugue of a finale.The challenges are more of a musical nature than a technical one, this is a good start to playing the bass clarinet in ensemble.

Clarinet Quartet,Woodwind Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1184712 Composed by Alan Bullard. 20th Century,Chamber,Contemporary. 48 pages. Colne Edition / BullardMusic #784397. Published by Colne Edition / BullardMusic (A0.1184712). Overtones is a single-movement virtuoso work that exploits the contrast between the different registers of the clarinet and their associated timbres.The basic material uses a scale derived from the clarinet’s characteristic overtones (or harmonic series), and is displayed at the opening of the work in the form of a toccata-like passage followed by a more relaxed section in which a solo line is echoed by the other clarinets.  These two groups of ideas are then subjected to a variety of developments and juxtapositions, culminating in a dissonant climax of note-clusters, followed by a shortened and varied repetition of the opening sections (but without the toccata-like characteristics) climbing up the overtone series and disintegrating into nothingness.The pdf contains the score and the four instrumental parts.www.alanbullard.co.uk.
