Brass Ensemble - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.834006 Composed by Claude Debussy. Arranged by BRIAN W. COPPING. Ragtime,Romantic Period,Standards. Score and parts. 16 pages. EMK Music #28847. Published by EMK Music (A0.834006). Before he died in 1918, Debussy had been planning to visit the USA. However, it is probable that he became familiar with the syncopated rhythms of ‘Ragtime’ and of the ‘Cakewalk’, used in Le Petit Negre, through the music of Scott Joplin. Le Petit Negre is taken from Debussy’s ‘Children’s Corner’ , a collection of pieces for Piano that he dedicated to his daughter, Claude-Emma, after her death at the age of fourteen. Debussy used language that was in common usage at the time, but some of his titles, including this one, now sound unavoidably racist. In addition to syncopation, Debussy also uses other techniques in this piece that have been adopted by jazz musicians, for example, pentatonic scales and chromaticism.

David McKeown #6284939. Published by David McKeown (A0.591133). The Candy Cakewalk is a fun and original duet written by David McKeown for one Clarinet and one Tenor Saxophone.

The Cakewalk was popular in the early twentieth century but its origins go back to slave plantations in the nineteenth century where dancers would often compete for a prize of cake. The music was a marriage of European March and African-American syncopation and was a forerunner of Ragtime. The Candy Cakewalk is suitable for players at an intermediate level and above, with the accessible key and range balanced by the fast tempo, some syncopated rhythms and accidentals. The playing-time is around one and a half minutes, but can be lengthened by adding repeats at the performer’s discretion.

3 Clarinets and Piano - Advanced - Digital Download SKU: F2.FM253 Composed by Vincenzo Sorrentino. Score and Parts. 26 pages. Forton Music - Digital #FM253. Published by Forton Music - Digital (F2.FM253). ISBN 9790570481521.3 Bb Clarinets and Piano. Incredibly exciting, this starts with driving repeated semiquavers in the piano part while the three clarinets build up syncopated chords over the top. This then bursts in to a section with a modern jazz feeling - fast semiquavers and chords built on perfect fourths, . After this, the first section flips - the driving semiquavers are split between the three clarinets while the piano takes the melodic material in octaves. The middle section has a more relaxed feel with overlapping entries in the clarinets over smooth yet modern harmonies in the piano part with an almost bossa nova feel to it. The driving semiquavers appear and push the music to an exciting conclusion. The clarinet parts are difficult, with extreme ranges and some very fast articulation. Some tricky syncopation in all parts makes this one for the expert players, but well worth the work!
