Poem and Dance, Op. 6b
Small Clarinet Quartet, score and parts.
Instrumentation: 4 Clarinets (extra bass clarinet for part 4)
Duration: 4 minutes
Level: Easy to Intermediate
Score and parts included (printed score and parts)
Program Note:
This small piece of music is the very beginning of a serie of works I intend to write for identical instrument quartets/ensembles.
It’s ideal for fresh and young chamber music groups inside a clarinet class or to play in larger ensembles be-cause of its simple vertical writing.
The first part “Poem” suggests a very soft and delicate sonority.
The following “Danse” is a little bit like the music of a small and portable hand organ in which we constantly give the crank so that the music does not stop playing.
Original version for flute quartet.
