From the composer:
"Singing of humming one pitch while playing another is a curious technique that has been in brass player's "bag of tricks" for years. (Often when the brass player executes a double stop in this manner, the listener additionally hears a third tone due to the acoustical enigma of the "difference tone.") The practice of singing while playing has not been absent from woodwind technique over the years, but it has manifested itself more often in the jazz idiom where a "growling tone," or "buzz tone" is often produced by singing an unspecified pitch while performing a line.
Composers of music other than jazz have made use of this type of sound in the recent past. Additionally, composers have on occasion called for the performer to coordinate the production of a tone produced by the instrument with one produced by the voice.

Five Duets for One Clarinetist is intended to be a five-movement work for performance in its entirety. However, the duets are constructed so that they may also be useful as study pieces, serving to assist the performer or teacher in his endeavors to gain flexibility in producing tones with the instrument and the voice simultaneously. The voice parts are written in a rather narrow tessitura and move primarily in whole steps and half steps."
