Alongaline - Alun Cook

Written for 6 or more Bb clarinets, this piece has fun with stereophonic effects. Performers should be spread across the stage and there is some improvisation and a little choreography to negotiate. Parts are of about Grade 6/7 standard providing players are confident. It's a great sound! Have a listen to the MP3 to hear a real clarinet performance

Spaced Out - Alun Cook

Although listed in the quartet section, it was conceived for any number of Bb clarinets and its first performance was at a Summer Music School performed by 10, and since performed by larger ensembles. The tight ensemble sections are certainly harder with more players, but the free sections are excellent and you may wish to add exra repeats.

In minimalist style, this "quartet" is staged, involves some "choreography" and playing in free time - but don't let that put you off. Enjoyable to play and interesting and entertaining for the audience. Detailed performance instructions are included at the end of the score. The off-stage clarinet part is included at the back of the 1st Clarinet part.

		Moderate Grade 7		There is a performance, although it incorrectly uses a Bass Clarinet

Ticked Off - Alun Cook

The piece uses tone-changing (fingerings are marked) but it is tonal and "audience-friendly", and not particularly hard to play - except of course, that you need to be able to play in time to a metronome!! Best that the metronome is ceremoniously carried on and off by a "technician" in a brown (or white) coat.

A minimum of 4 players required but will work very well with larger ensembles.
