Description:
This little concerto for clarinet was written for Peter Holligan, a friend of its composer, and the Fife Youth Concert Band (Scotland).
The work was based on traditional Celtic music, and consists of three movements.
1. Reel - a fast dance ending in an atmospheric but virtuoso cadenza.
2. Lament - a slow and melancholy song hinting at the sound of bagpipes.
3. A fast and virtuoso dance in 6/8 time with Irish influence.
The work is a wonderful audience-pleaser and an absolute 'must' for all clarinet-players.
The band too is called upon and by all means does have its part to play in the piece.
Band grade 4, soloist grade 5.
