Clarinet’s Amazing Americas Tour
Clarinet's Amazing Americas Tour
The year 2020 will be infamously recorded as a time when musicians had to lead a solitary life, which is incompatible with musical activity.
Furthermore, travel has been severely restricted, having a devastating impact on performers’ lives. So, I decided to compose pieces for solo Clarinet
1. Hearty Hoedown
Clarinet plays at a lively, social, rural gathering; a ‘hoedown’; for cowboys and girls. Yeeha!
2. Barcarolle Blues
On the 18th of December 1865, the 13th Amendment (abolishing slavery in USA) was officially adopted into the Constitution.
Clarinet is on a boat sailing the Mississippi with former slaves travelling further north in hope of a better life.
As the river gently sways the traumatised passengers, they find solace in music-making.
3. Kindred Klezmer
Clarinet is playing for Ashkenazi (West and East European) Jews dancing fervently and with joy as a community.
4. Carnival Calypso
Further south, in 1834, Clarinet is playing at a carnival competition in Trinidad, celebrating the abolition of slavery.
It is in call (the lead singer)-and-response (the rest of the group) form. The chariot passes through cheering crowds, and trundles merrily into the distance.
5. Tantalising Tango
Clarinet is at a dance theatre in downtown Buenos Aires, playing an intense, and moody tango. Couples dance in a passionate and powerful embrace.
6. Hallowed Harawi of the Incas
The Incas are no more, like so many indigenous peoples of the Americas. Clarinet plays an Incan Harawi, a love song, as their spirit still echoes across the valleys, mountains, forests, and rivers that nurtured them in ancient times.
