Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Clarinet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.914231 Composed by Henry Harry Thacker Burleigh. Arranged by Craig Buying. African,Concert,Contemporary,Spiritual,Traditional. 9 pages. No Squeak Publishing #4321957. Published by No Squeak Publishing (A0.914231). Harry Burleigh was an African American composer who often used Southern spiritual music as the influence for his compositions.  He studied with Dvorak in New York, and is primarily known for he transcription of slave songs into classical forms.  This arrangement of Southland Sketches is the 3rd mvt of his work for violin and piano written in 1916.  It features two main sections, and the work is about three and a half minutes.  This piece is suitable for mature musicians for programming and can also be performed by younger players.  Every instrument gets a share of the melodies, including bass clarinet.  While not a technically difficult work (nothing above a high C), playing with the correct inflections, blend, and tone is critical to a great performance. This work is always a crowd pleaser, and is a wonderful gateway into the compositions of a relatively unknown American composer.  Wonderful for Patriotic concerts, recitals, retirement homes, and Black History Month.

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Clarinet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.844477 Composed by Phil Beaman. 20th Century,Instructional,Jazz. 5 pages. Phil Beaman #3412079. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844477). Offbeat in Two is a vibrant piece that is all about the rhythmic drive! The downbeat is always a rest as are most of the cardinal beats. The notes are easy; the difficulty level depends on how well you feel offbeat rhythms. I have marked it as Intermediate not only because of rhythms, but also because it is all tongued and up tempo. For some instruments, Parts 1 & 4 might push the upper and lower range limits. Form is AA, bridge, BB, D.C., Coda with the A theme in a contrasting key. Individually the parts are not difficult, but it is the dynamic way they pulse together and interact that creates interest and excitement. It is a wild ride for one and a half minutes! With the right drive and energy this can be a real showpiece!5 pages score and parts; recording is a piano reduction of parts.This version is for Clarinet Quartet. Go for it!
