CAMco enables you to explore the clarinet repertoire by a variety of search tools.  The three major methods are:

1) by instrument - choose exact combinations of instruments
2) by filter - choose one or more search points, like composer name, year, duration, difficulty, publisher, etc.
3) by collection - choose specially chosen genres like jazz style, scale exercises, or books with audio accompaniment

You may also use the search bar at the top of every page to make an "exhaustive" keyword search.

You can search by composer here, on the filter bar.

You can search by publisher here, on the filter bar.

Depending on your needs, you may prefer to see a more inclusive list of possibilities when searching by instrument.  CAMco's site uniquely offers two levels of specificity:

1) strict - choose instrument types (ex: "show me works which have 1 B-flat Clarinet, 1 Violin, and 1 Piano")
2) flexible - choose instrument families* (ex: "show me works which have 1 Brass instrument, 1 String Instrument, and 1 Keyboard Instrument")

Looking for concertos? 
Note that the instrumentation search will give "literal" product results, so a piano reduction of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, K. 622 will be filed under "Clarinet + Piano," not "Clarinet + Orchestra" (the full orchestral score or orchestral parts would be filed under "Clarinet + Orchestra").  If you simply want to browse clarinet concertos, you may choose a collection from the blue pre-made combinations list.  

Looking for accompaniment audio/CDs (a.k.a. "backing tracks")?
Note that the CD/Tape "instrument" represents fixed audio media which is intended for use in a performance; it does not include recordings of instrumental accompaniment, which are mostly intended for rehearsal/study purposes.  If you simply want to browse the "backing track" audio/CDs, you can find them all in the "Audio included" collection.

*In order to best provide clarinettists with control over the search results, the overarching Wood Wind instrument family has been separated into its respective members (Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Saxophone, and Bassoon).

As a growing business, CAMco is constantly adding music to the catalog.  If you don't see what you're looking for, simply contact CAMco directly and we can source it for you!  

Every effort has been made to ensure that CAMco's information is accurate and up to date, but to err is human!  If you come across something you believe to be in error, then please contact CAMco; your consideration is appreciated.

If a product has more than one composer (ex: in a collection of works), the name will be "Various."

An unknown composer of a folk melody is named "Traditional."

There is a staggering amount of specificity, variety and mixture of cultures in music, and globalization has only muddled the boundaries further.  Terms like ethnicity, nationality, and citizenship each provide a certain categorization of people, but ultimately there isn't a single system that defines everything neatly.  Therefore, the composer's "Country" should be seen as a general starting point for ascertaining a cultural identity.  

For CAMco, it is typically the nationality that the composer self-identifies with, and/or the country where they lived most of their professional life.  

The passage of time has also changed country borders and names, but in order to unify the data, the present-day equivalent country is used.

This is the year when the composition was written—not the year of publication.  If the year of composition is not known, then the following rules apply:

• If it lies within the composer's living years, then the first publication year is used.  In many cases, this is extremely close to the year written. 
• If absolutely no information is available, then the midpoint of the composer's life and death years is used.  This approximation is in place to guarantee that all works are given proper inclusion when searching by year.

Some other details about year information:

• If a work was written over the course of multiple years, the finishing year is used.
• If a work is revised by the composer, then both the initial and revised years are used.
• A collection of multiple works with differing dates will include all known years.  

Please note that the detailed description of the product will always provide all known, factual date information.

The duration of a work is a calculated average based on a subset of professional commercial recordings.
It is unreasonable to claim a "typical" length of performance on a global (much less historical) scale, but CAMco's method ensures a valuable, baseline honesty of information:

• CAMco's primary source of duration information is the Naxos Music Library.  This international breadth of over 800 recording labels covers a time span of more than fifty years of audio sources.  
• The most far-reaching outliers are omitted, to prevent a particularly fast or slow recording from "pulling" the data too far in one direction.

When you are searching for repertoire of a specific duration, also consider that many works with discrete movements may support programming individually.  In these cases, you can find the inner section durations listed below the total duration on the search results page.  

(this information is also located on the individual product page, as illustrated below)

If no recordings are available (often the case for beginner-difficulty pedagogical works), then an estimation is calculated using the number of measures and tempo markings. 
If a particular edition has been shortened from the original (as is often for pedagogical reasons), the actual shortened duration is displayed.
If a work is commonly performed with cuts, this will be mentioned in the product description. 
Please note that multi-work collections will not be included in the search results if you make a duration selection.

This refers to technical complexity, and not musical "profundity."  For example, while the Brahms Sonatas Op. 120 certainly require a well-developed sense of musical expression, they don't have the same technical demands as Corigliano's Clarinet Concerto.  Compared to other websites, CAMco's "Intermediate" level may seem more difficult and more expansive than others; this was done to best equalize the distribution across the entire span of technical difficulty.  The three levels are as follows:

(1) Beginner

• This music is used to introduce and develop a student from the absolute beginning through their first several years of study.  This equates the American music grades system 1-4 or so.
• Generally: keys stay below 4 flats/sharps, rhythms stay at sixteenth note or slower, and range doesn't proceed beyond an altissimo C6.

(2) Intermediate

• This includes most of the clarinet's "standard" repertoire, which any university student and professional would typically know.  It generally includes the American music grade system 5-6, and most of the "standard" undergraduate university repertoire (Debussy, Brahms, Poulenc...). 
• Generally: Pedagogical constraints of key and rhythm are of little concern, and range stays within the comfortable altissimo.

(3) Advanced

• This music is for clarinettists who have thorough experience with the standard repertoire, and are pushing into the highest technical demands.  

If a publisher has indicated a difficulty level from one of the several music difficulty grade systems, this information will be included in the description.

Simply put, this option helps you to find music that was originally, or at least thoroughly, intended for a member of the clarinet family.  It will also meet the needs of any pianists who wish to remove orchestral/large ensemble reductions from their consideration.    

While re-conceptualizations of previously-composed works provide valid and appreciated variety to our musical culture, some users may have a particular reason to exclude these types of works from their search.  Terms used to describe re-conceptualization of music include transcribe, arrange, reduce, orchestrate, adapt, rework, and set; this filter merely uses the label "Transcription/Arrangement" for its easy recognition.  CAMco's filter deals with the following cases:

Change in instrumentation
examples:

• Piano reduction of a larger ensemble score
• Reassignment of the solo part from non-clarinet to clarinet, like Sarasate's Zigeunerweisen performed with clarinet in place of violin
• New instrumentation of a previously-existing clarinet work, like the arrangement of Finzi's Five Bagatelles (originally clarinet & piano) for clarinet & string quartet

If a change in instrumentation was executed or personally sanctioned by the composer, then the piece is not classified as a transcription/arrangement. 
examples: 

• Benjamin's Le tombeau de Ravel was first written for viola, and later reworked for clarinet by the composer's wishes with the assistance of Gervase De Peyer
• Debussy's Première rhapsodie was first written for clarinet & piano, and later the composer re-orchestrated it for clarinet & orchestra

Reworking of previously conceived material
examples:

• Setting of a church hymn or popular song
• Movie themes adapted for solo clarinet and digital audio accompaniment

An exception is made for adaptations of material with an unknown composer, i.e. traditional folk music.  In these cases, if the re-conceptualization is more "substantial" via new thematic material, restructuring, reharmonization, or other compositional development, then it will not be classified as an arrangement.
examples:

• JeanJean's Carnival of Venice (which adapts a Neapolitan folk tune), is not classified as an arrangement

Digital accompaniment audio is only classified as an arrangement if the recorded instrument(s) or work itself are classified as such (ex: a recording of a piano reduction).  

Note that only extended techniques in the clarinet part(s) are considered.  

When searching for repertoire with certain extended techniques on the filter bar, you may select one or multiple technique(s).  They are classified as follows:

• Quarter-tones/microtones/timbral shifts (microtones are smaller than a quarter-tone)
• Multiphonics
• Vibrato (volume or pitch; technique can be diaphragm/glottis/throat or jaw/lip)
• Bend (Glissando, a.k.a. chromatic scale, or portamento, a.k.a. "smeared pitch" bends)
• Flutter tonguing
• Slap tonguing
• Voice (speak, sing, scream, growl, mouth noise, whisper words, etc.)
• Air sound (non-vocal-chord formations, non-speech formations, ghost notes)
• Key sound (key clicking, fingers popping on tone holes, bell cupping, etc.)
• Teeth on reed
• Body movement/staging
• Aleatoric (elements of chance or choice: mobile form, spatial notation, pick a note, improvisation etc.)
• Unmetered (no time signature, excluding cadenzas)
