Krzywicki describes his Partita as "both a suite and a set of informal variations," written for oboist Fredric T. Cohen, who subsequently recorded the work as part of the second Albany Records compilation of Krzywicki chamber music, Alchemy. On the classical music blog ICareIfYouListen.com, David Pearson waxes poetic: "Thick intensities sometimes give way to barren moments. At times the oboe soars towards a goal in its upper extremes, taking a few times and building the tension before reaching it. The piano punctuates, sometimes lays into a heavy groove for a short time, and pulls out sonorities ranging from booming low chords, plucked sounds, to ambiguous ethereal textures." For advanced performers. Dur.: 16'

The commissioning groups, Left Coast Chamber Ensemble and Empyrean Ensemble, have both performed the work to excellent reviews. "A well-crafted and tasteful piece...

A commission from the Wozniak Duo (Lois Hicks-Wozniak, saxophone, and Matthew Wozniak, bass trombone) led the composer to fashion a two-movement synthesis of this dynamic couple. The movements ("Lyrical Lois" and "Chopper's Rag") are contrasting elements, as reflects the contrasting instruments, The first begins "with sweet serenity," before giving way to a passage "in the groove," with rythmic foot stomps. The second ("Mean!") starts with attitude, then solidity ("Kinda square"). The original alto saxophone and bass trombone duo is also available in Pann's transcription for flute and bass trombone.

In considering a Trio for Clarinet, Viola, and Piano, Ewazen used the famous Mozart K.498 as a guide - but only a guide, for his own three movement work. The first movement is a "somewhat melancholy" classical sonata form, and the second has the two soloists singing above the pianist's "sweet harmonies underneath." The third movement uses "rhythmic energy and changing rhythms" with an air of Eastern European dance to bring the work to "a grand, joyful finale." For advanced performers. Dur.: 22'

When given the opportunity to commission a new work, the members of the Blair Woodwind Quintet chose Schickele, because of his multi-faceted catalog of works and especially his previous writing for wind instruments. Interestingly, Schickele felt somewhat challenged in composing for winds, more so than in previous ensemble works, such as for strings. In A Year in the Catskills, he set about exploring the blending of these five very different sounds, scoring almost-solo passages for each, while tapping into the joy of the ensemble. Read more about the Blair Woodwind Quintet and A Year in the Catskills here, or preview the premiere Naxos recording here. Dur.: 22'. For advanced performers.

Fantango No. 2 is a six-and-a-half-minute work for B-flat clarinet and piano in jazzy classical style, characteristic of the composer's more recent music. The title is a contraction of "fantastic tango," and as such it is at once rhythmically punchy and expressively melodic. The composer has built in an optional improvisatory section for the clarinetist that is ostensibly a 12-bar blues treatment of the work's main harmonic material. This option is excellent for both the classical player who is adept at jazz improvisation, and the classical clarinetist who may or may not be ready and willing to explore improvisation. It is the perfect "crossover" recital piece by a great composer who has been a performer on both of these instruments. See sample pages (PDF).

Today’s klezmer music comprises a wide range of styles, extending from traditional ensemble music to crossover with jazz, pop and rock. This collection of ten arrangements from clarinetist and composer Helmut Hödl, contains popular melodies, such as Bei mir bist du schean, Havah Nagila, and Chiri Biri Bam, as well as lesser-known folk songs. Two additional compositions from Helmut Hödl himself complete the collection. All share a common basis of deeply expressive themes, in which laughter and sadness are reminiscent of language and song. Any of these pieces would be an exciting and popular choice for the concert program. Both clarinet parts are of moderate difficulty and the pieces are presented in progressive order of difficulty.
