During this time of the COVID-19 health crisis, wearing masks, and high racial tensions, I decided to compose four short solo woodwind works for flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon, which represent the core woodwind section in an orchestra. I was inspired to compose these short pieces after I first heard Igor Stravinsky's three short pieces for clarinet, which totals a little more than four minutes in duration. I thought that it would be nice to highlight and honor my African-American male colleagues in the orchestral music world. I wanted to celebrate the fact that they are the principal player in the section of their respective orchestras. The short pieces are as follows: Principal Brother No. 1 for flute solo for Demarre McGill, Principal Flute of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, Principal Brother No. 2 for oboe solo for Titus Underwood, Principal Oboe of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, Principal Brother No. 3 for clarinet solo for Anthony McGill, Principal Clarinet of the New York Philharmonic, and Principal Brother No. 4 for bassoon solo for Bryan Young, Principal Bassoon of the Baltimore Chamber Orchestra. These works all begin with notes that are representative of their name; D for Demarre, B for Titus (ti in solfège starting on C), A for Anthony, and Bb for Bryan. There is also a rhythmic figure in the opening measures of each piece, which represent the utterance of their names. All four of these works are rhapsodic in nature with elements of improvisation. \"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRange:\u003c\/strong\u003e highest pitch = written A6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey signature:\u003c\/strong\u003e no ♯\/♭\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTime signature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/2, 2\/4, 3\/4, 4\/4, 5\/4, 5\/8, 6\/8, 10\/8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtended techniques:\u003c\/strong\u003e flutter tongue (2 mm.), pitch bend\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Subito Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33112389189709,"sku":"94010763","price":11.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2337\/0861\/products\/img330_607386a8-aa2f-46a5-9b41-046be9731017.jpg?v=1602855360"},{"product_id":"jenni-brandon-chansons-de-la-nature-unaccompanied-clarinet","title":"Brandon, Jenni_Chansons de la Nature","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis edition is available in both physical book and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.clarinetallmusic.com\/pages\/faq-help#digitalproducts\" title=\"CAMco digital download product policies\"\u003edigital PDF formats\u003c\/a\u003e;

instead, Mandat suggests concentrating simultaneously on all études in a given chapter for an extended period of time to properly develop a particular technique\/concept.  As Hudson writes, the benefit of studying these modern-sounding études is not merely honing extended techniques, but more so gaining creative flexibility and expanding one's musical vocabulary. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRange:\u003c\/strong\u003e highest pitch = written B6\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey signature:\u003c\/strong\u003e no  ♯\/♭\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTime signature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\/2, 3\/2, 4\/2, 2\/4, 3\/4, 4\/4, 5\/4, 5.5\/4, 2\/8, 3\/8, 5\/8, 6\/8, 7\/8, 8\/8, 9\/8, 12\/8, 5\/16, 6\/16\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtended techniques:\u003c\/strong\u003e multiphonics, microtones, timbral trill, growl, slap tongue, flutter tongue, glissando pitch bend, spatial notation (étude #11)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEvery étude has substantial adjoined commentary, usually at least 4 pages long, and split into two sections:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first section lists precisely three \"core concepts\" to guide one's approach;

The title comes from a poem by the Roman Emperor Hadrian, which begins “Animula vagula, blandula”. ‘Animula’ means ‘little soul’, and the piece, does, I hope, express something of what I feel to be the essence, the soul, of the clarinet: its agility, its dynamic range, its fluidity, its melodic expressiveness. The remaining two pieces were written in June 2000. Lacrimae rerum takes its title from a famous line in Virgil’s Aeneid: “sunt lacrimae rereum et mentem mortalia tangunt”, which is more or less untranslatable, but which means literally ‘there are tears of things and mortal affairs touch the mind’. The last piece, Actaeon, evokes the death of Actaeon as described in Book III of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. The hunter Actaeon by chance came upon the goddess Diana bathing naked; outraged, she turned him into a stag and he was torn to pieces by his own hounds. My piece is very short, but it contains the sounds of hunting horns, distant and near, the cries of the hounds, the swift motion of Actaeon as he tries to escape, and his final despairing cry.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44029844750586,"sku":"0571565328","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2337\/0861\/products\/img240_344cf48a-1a8e-46ac-9b65-3cf002a3583e.jpg?v=1677527938"},{"product_id":"holszky-a-due-e-flat-clarinet-duet-breitkopf","title":"Hölszky, Adriana_A due","description":"This edition consists of one performing score.  Two scores are needed for two performers to study the work independently.","brand":"Breitkopf \u0026 Härtel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44061509976314,"sku":"EB9100","price":38.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2337\/0861\/products\/img486_b34be61d-23e0-42c2-b1ac-90fa04045d97.jpg?v=1678387389"},{"product_id":"canat-de-chizy-l-ibis-rouge-flute-clarinet-cello-piano-lemoine","title":"Canat de Chizy, Édith_L’Ibis rouge","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis edition consists of a set of four parts (flute, clarinet, cello, piano) and a conductor's score.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flute part doubles on piccolo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henry Lemoine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44111139176698,"sku":"HL29434","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2337\/0861\/products\/img478_6d61ac02-b3cc-4001-84b9-b79fd84477bb.jpg?v=1679417052"},{"product_id":"heyn-reb-david-wife-and-wolf-breitkopf","title":"Heyn, Volker_Reb David, Wife and Wolf (score)","description":"This edition consists of one performing score.","brand":"Breitkopf \u0026 Härtel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44118904307962,"sku":"KM2406","price":104.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2337\/0861\/products\/img536_23603f54-a1ce-4804-8f1f-871d08a98af5.jpg?v=1679573416"},{"product_id":"garrop-stubborn-as-hell-clarinet-duet-presser","title":"Garrop, Stacy_Stubborn as Hell","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis edition consists of two duet scores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the composer: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eStubborn as Hell\u003c\/em\u003e was commissioned by virtuoso clarinetist Robert Spring.

Among numerous unconventional techniques composers have used are multiphonics (production of more than one audible tone simultaneously), quarter tones, timbre variation, glissando, portamento, vibrato manipulation, non-traditional methods of attack and release, percussive effects, vocal sounds, and air sounds. Once the peculiarities of a few experimenters and jazz musicians, unconventional sounds have become accepted as viable material for contemporary serious composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of this volume is to provide material that may assist the clarinetist in developing flexibility with some of the non-traditional techniques often required in the performance of contemporary music. The exercises and etudes contained here deal principally with three techniques that typically involve unconventional fingerings\u003cspan\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003evariation of timbre, quarter-tone production, and the performance of multiple sonorities, or multiphonics. Fingering diagrams are included throughout this study material to guide the clarinetist in producing the various sounds as they occur in the notation, as is generally the case with most literature utilizing such techniques. A key to the fingering diagrams, which are designed to be as practical and immediately communicative to the performer as possible, is provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material in this volume is divided into three basic sections. The first deal with timbre variation, the second with quarter tones, and the third with multiphonics. There is no set, prescribed manner as to how one should proceed through the book; one might work in all three sections simultaneously, or go from the beginning to the end in the order printed. In the event one would choose to do the latter, the effectiveness of this course might be enhanced by the fact that the first section (timbre variation) presents primarily a technical challenge (i.e., getting used to reading the fingering diagrams at sight), the second (quarter tones) adds more of an aural challenge, and the third (multiphonics) additionally introduce a much greater challenge to the performer's tone-production flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the fairly advanced student who possesses good basic playing habits, the material in this volume may be able to serve as appropriate introduction to the unconventional sounds involved.

For the first time in American history, the disciplines of visual art, music, and literature simultaneously took a turn to celebrate African-American culture. As a result, the 'Harlem Renaissance' was born. Langston Hughes was in the center of that cultural explosion, and like many African-American artists who lived in Harlem, Hughes had dreams of living in Europe - living a life unfettered from segregation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'Portraits of Langston', is a suite in six short movements, and is my take on Hughes' poetic memories of Harlem and Europe (mainly Paris).

His poems are so descriptive of the era, with references to particular settings and individuals that influenced him: Josephine Baker, Helen Keller, the nightlife\/music of Harlem jazz clubs and Parisian cabarets. The imagery that Hughes provides gives me quite a historical palette that inspires me to illustrate a work truly unique to duo repertoire. Stylistically, this work incorporates many different elements that are translated into woodwind technique: the stride piano technique, big band swing, cabaret music, Mambo, African drumming, and even traditional spirituals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach movement is a musical sketch of selected (and lesser known) poems from Langston Hughes' vast library.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelen Keller\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDanse Africaine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn Time of Silver Rain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJazz Band in a Parisian Cabaret\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSummer Night\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'Le Grand Duc Mambo' is the only exception.
