Known to Organists the world over, Sigfrid Karg-Elerts' music is rich and progressive in harmony and texture, but never dissonant and certainly melodic. This work, scored for Eb/4Bb's/Alto/Bass/Contra-Bass Clarinets is largely based on Karg-Elerts' mighty 'Chaconne & Fugue Trilogy', and is intended to challenge the advanced and professional player.

Incidentally, Karg-Elert also wrote 30 Caprices for Flute & a Sonata for Clarinet.

FROM THE SUITE 'CATHEDRAL WINDOWS' Movements 5 & 6.

I know that the music of Sigfrid Karg-Elert is probably not well known amongst the Woodwind fraternity, however when the notes are extracted from the Organ scores, a completely new light is shed upon the music that he wrote. As with the other pieces by Karg-Elert on this site that I have arranged for Clarinet groups in particular, there seems to be no chord extension barred from the ongoing harmonies, elaborate rhythms on the inner parts and such invention!

Maybe with a couple of hearings you will get what I mean! I'm sure that in a generous acoustic, this music would sound glorious.... just like the Organ...only different!!
