Bass Clarinet Sonata

Sonata for Bass Clarinet and Piano was commissioned by virtuoso former Houston Symphony clarinetist Richard Nunemaker, and takes full advantage of his prodigious technique and the instrument's extraordinary range. Although the sonata is traditional in its structure - with three movements whose tempi are ordered as fast, slow, fast - it is highly original in its musical content.
The first movement draws upon two rather disparate sources for its material - Dizzy Gillespie's bebop standard Salt Peanut , and Frank Zappa's art-rock masterpiece Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbeque , hence the title, Salt Peanut Memorial Barbeque. The second movement uses a technique much, much older, that of the isorhythmic motet. The piano accompaniment has a talea of five rhythmic events serving a color of four pitch events. The clarinet cantillates a monody against this that is comprised primarily of the pitches not displayed in the accompaniment; hence the title Motet - Ancient Incantations. The third movement is a bebob and boogie-woogie tour-de-force for the two instruments, at once paying homage to Eric Dolphy and to one of the great songs of his era, Green Dolphin Street , and hence the title, Green Dolphy Street Boogie. / Partitions classique / Bois / Clarinette / ALEA PUBLISHING

For Henle's Urtext edition of the Clarinet Sonata op. 167 they were able to consult the autograph for the first time. 'At the moment I am putting my last ounce of energy into giving seldom considered instruments an opportunityto be heard' Saint-Saëns wrote to a friend in April of the year he died. A sonata for oboe one for clarinet and one for bassoon were thus composed; yet he was not to hear the premieres. As far as form and infl ection areconcerned the three wind sonatas op. 166 - 168 hark back to the gallant style of the 18th century and thus approach the neoclassicism movement around 1920. Humour wit and fine irony characterise these works for wind.

After the Oboe and Clarinet sonata the Bassoon sonata forms the conclusion of the wind compositions from Saint-Saens due to his death in 1921 - the also planned Sonata for English Horn never to be composed.Playing thehumorous not too technically demanding work you can hardly imagine that the composer did not feel particularly familiar on this instrument.
