4 MOVEMENTS FROM 10 CHARACTERISTIC TONE PIECES by SIGFRID KARG-ELERT

ADAPTED FOR CLARINET SEXTET.

These 4 complex and musically rewarding pieces are taken from the original Organ score by Karg-Elert. Atonal in style, each of the 4 chosen movements offers a wealth of harmonic and rhythmic intricacy, coupled with surprises like a waltz in 7/8, recitativo, a March, and other challenges that should keep the players enthralled with the composers inventiveness.

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!!

MP3 also available to download.

Sigfrid Karg-Elert (1877 – 1933) was an instructor of music theory and composition at the Leipzig Conservatory. He wrote his 30 Caprices for a flautist friend in 1918 and they have since become standard etudes for flute students. With some editing as to range and technical issues arising between the flute and the clarinet, they also work well for clarinet. There were three caprices omitted in this edition since they were unsuitable for clarinet (#18, 23, 28). The clarinetist will find these caprices challenging and instructive.  

 One should note that the convention of accidentals only effecting the note in the octave in which it is first played is usually marked in this edition, and the player should be aware that this is the case throughout. - John Gibson, editor

Karg-Elerts (1877-1933) Freundschaft mit dem Flötisten Carl Bartuzat war für das Flötenrepertoire ein bedeutendes Ereignis. Sie lernten sich in einem Militärorchester während des 1. Weltkrieges kennen. Bartuzat forderte Karg-Elert kompositorisch heraus, war er doch ein vollendeter Flötist, der neuen Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten gegenüber offen war. So entstand auch diese Sonate, originell und vielseitig.

Die Impressions exotique sind das wohl am stärksten impressionistisch gefärbte Flötenstück Karg-Elerts. Er schrieb das Werk angeregt vom damaligen Soloflötisten des Leipziger Gewandhausorchesters Carl Bartuzat, mit dem er sehr befreundet war.

The music of Karg-Elert is renowned all over the world and cherished by Organists, his use of unusual harmony, bursts of frantic and passionate passages, with sensuous and vast chordal images never fails to deserve the many plaudits amassed by this composer, and above all never dull a moment.
Carefully extracting the strands of music from the original is no easy task, but it does give us mere mortals a chance to view and listen to the music of Sigfrid Karg-Elert from a different angle.
