Composed by Felix Alexandre Guilmant. Arranged by Stephen Davies. 20th Century,Standards. 38 pages. Stephen Davies #5755531. Published by Stephen Davies (A0.891945).SWEET SUITE: QUARTET FOR CLARINETS
Featuring the music of ALEXANDRE GUILMANT
In this delightful suite of 4 movements, I have chosen four very eclectic works by the French Organist and Composer Alexandre Guilmant. In his time (1837-1911) he helped found the Schola Cantorum of Paris, and served as Professor of Organ at the Paris Conservatoire from 1896 until his death. His Wiki entry is an interesting read!! Oh, and don't be fooled by the gentle lilt of the first movement!
1. CHANT DU MATIN
This jolly piece has a very memorable theme, with an almost Music Hall 'middle eight' section, littered with grace notes, and ends with a big 'film' finish!
2. FUGUE GRAVE
Blessed with beautifully lush harmonies, and with the unusual theme based on the diminished 7th, it quite literally makes the Clarinet Quartet sing.
3. ASPIRATION RELIGIEUSE
Despite the religious connotations in the title, this is an almighty vehicle for the Bass Clarinet to shine!
The 3 Bb Clarinets hold a singularly static but lovely theme above, as the Bass Clarinet tumbles over the chords with relish from start to finish. A must play for your Bass player!
4. FUGHETTA IN A MINOR
This is just a fantastic musical romp for 4 accomplished players! Once one player has the jaunty melody line, everyone wants to be a part of it! ... also includes some well written 'quirky' off-beat rhythms on the Bass part. Good luck!!
