Trio in d minor op. 3-Alexander Zemlinsky is mainly known for his operas and orchestral songs with their opulent late Romantic orchestration. His earlier inspired hit the Trio For Clarinet Op. 3 written in 1896 owes agreat deal to Zemlinsky’s first important role model Johannes Brahms as far as inflection and instrumentation are concerned. It was also Brahms who following its first performance in Vienna enthusiastically recommendedthe trio to his publisher Simrock.As the autograph has disappeared Henle’s edition follows the musical text in the first edition. It underwent careful examination and was cleared of numerous partly blatant engraver’serrors. Alongside the Piano score Henle’s edition comprises a part for Clarinet in Bb/A and an authentic alternative part for Violin as well as a Cello part.

The title of Paul Mealor's Spectred Light refers to the ghostly lights sometimes seen at night or twilight over rivers or lakes.Tales of the ‘Spectred Lights’ can be found in numerous folk tales around the world and it is often depicted as a malicious character in these stories. In Welsh folklore it is said that the light is 'fairy fire' held in the hand of a ‘pwca’ - a small goblin-like fairy that leads lone travelers off the beaten path at night. As the traveller follows the pwca through the marsh the fire is extinguished leaving the man lost.This short work for Flute Clarinet and Piano is an attempt to depict through sound thisstrange phenomenon. The piece flickers into life and though a series of asymmetric variations leads the listener into a maze of aural colours. As the music reaches breaking point it disappears upwards and dissolves into metal wind-chimes. Out of this a short respite is heard before the music finally hurtles into its finale a blaze of virtuosity.Spectred Light was commissioned by and dedicated to virtuoso clarinetist Esther Lamneck.

Tattoo For Four - A drill for Clarinet in Bb Violin Violoncello & Piano (2017).  Dedicated to Ensemble Nordlys. Parts are available: WH32974A Programme note TATTOO FOR FOUR is in reality the same piece as TATTOO FORTHREE from 1984 but with a fourth voice - for violin - added. Forperformances of the older piece just omit the violin part. The'hidden' 1984 piece has been slightly revised so the originalperforming material is now obsolete.

The premiere performers will be (as of 241108: were) Scott Anderson clarinet Ignace Jang violin Mark Votapek cello and Robert Pollock piano.The title is borrowed from the first line of American poet Walt Whitman’s magnificent poem SEADRIFT a tribute to the sea. The poem forms part of Whitman’s magnum opus LEAVES OF GRASS which he revised extended and worked on practically all his writing life.I had previously drawn some lines from the poem SEADRIFT for another work of mine a work likewise entitled SEADRIFT (1978) for soprano and ensemble.In this present new piece I did not set out to depict in music ‘the soul of the sea’ or anything like that. I did however have an intention of making the piece a sort of outstretched hand from one small country with a multitude of islands and – necessarily – a lot of water around it (I am referring of course to my native Denmark) to another country with many islands: Hawaii with its far-away exotic appeal (at least for a Scandinavian) and its remoteness thousands and thousands of nautical miles away. Folkloristic Hawaiian chant (alluring samples of which were kindly forwarded to me from the commissioner of the work) fascinated and impressed me so much that my melodic repertoire in the new piece sometimes echo a Hawaiian Melodybrother.A latent wave-character is characteristic of the piece. You will hear a simultaneity of different ‘wavelengths’ and often a dense and complex melodic and rhythmic

Elisabeth Poston (1905-1987) was a British composer and musician who studied at the Royal Academy of Music and later worked for both the BBC and the Arts Council. She is best remembered for her setting of theChristmas carol Jesus Christ the Apple Tree which is still performed regularly today. The Harp Trio was commissioned in 1958 by Anthony Friese-Greene to whom it is dedicated. He was secretary ofthe Hampton Music Club where it was first performed as part of a private concert. This beautiful work is one of her more substantial compositions comprising four contrasting movements. Originally scored for Flute Clarinet andHarp it can be performed with a Viola instead of the Clarinet and/or a Piano instead of the Harp.

Cheryl Frances-Hoad's Cloud Movements for Clarinet Violin and Piano. Cloud Movements was premiered by Ensemble Matisse on the 8th January 2015 at the Purcell Room (South Bank) as part of the Park Lane Young Artists New Year Series. 'On honeymoon in Tuscany I was determined to come home inspired by a great work of art on which to base my next commission. However it was watching the gradually changing shape of a cloud crossing the sky over a glass of Tuscan Red that eventually inspired this work: the idea influences the harmonic progressions in the piece which gradually metamorphose in shape following no particular rules. Backhome I started reading Naomi Klein's This Changes Everything about Climate Change and Capitalism. A chapter about 'Solar Radiation Management' a potentially hazardous proposed geoengineering practice in which sulfates are sprayed into the stratosphere (with the intention of reflecting sunlight back into space) influenced the piece as it progressed (in particular the final movement). The second and fourth movements are both canons - the first a three part canon the second a four part palindromic one (palindromes also feature in the final movement).' - Cheryl Frances-Hoad
