From a Lake of Honey (modified double bass)

By Betty Beath

Regular price $20.00 Sale

Modified double bass and piano, tuned A D G C, c.4'00

This piece was written for Allan Von Schenkel's instrument, the Solo Bass, tuned one fourth higher than the orchestra bass. "I do this", he said, "because it has a colorful solo voice with a wide range and because it removes many of the technical limitations of the bass" and "I read music at the sounding pitch like the cello".  From a Lake of Honey is a piece which might 'sing'. It is really a landscape of the mind, a simple musical work, which gives opportunities for an imaginative collaboration between performers and audience as they 'journey' to a 'lake of honey'.

From Fire by Fire

By Peter Rankine

Regular price $60.00 Sale

Quartet for mixed ensemble - flute, violin, horn, cello, c.18'00

The work takes its title from a lyric of Little Gidding, in T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. This poem inspired and nourished the composer during the creation of the work. It did this because it speaks eloquently of the creative process itself: tumult; achievement and loss; and mystery. And it did so because the exploration of Time and Eternity is evocative and compelling and seems to address the heart of the mystery of being. To find a musical representation of this interplay and co-existence between “the timeless and time” was a principal inspiration for this work.
Composed 1989, 2nd Ed 2017

From Fire Country

By Andrew Schultz

Regular price $20.00 Sale

Solo Bass Clarinet in Bb, c.5'40. Grade A.Mus.A
AMEB Manual List D, Level 3 Licentiate

The title derives in part from the work "Journey to Horseshoe Bend", which was composed just before this work. The third section of that work is set in a desolate landscape of red cliffs and burnt rocks known as "Fire Country" in Aranda Aboriginal mythology. The bass clarinet perhaps evokes the desolate quality of a landscape after fire.

Fugue

By Tony Wheeler

Regular price $20.00 Sale

Bb Clarinet and piano, c.3'15. Grade6/7

Most of the well known solo repertoire for clarinet dates from the 18th century or later and examples of Baroque writing for the instrument are few.  This piece is written in conscious imitation of the Baroque style paying particular homage to the work and creative spirit of J S Bach.  It follows a formal schema of exposition, development and recapitulation, and its tessiture exploits the full range of the clarinet.
Composed 2010
