Book excerpt: The clarinet has a long and rich history as a solo, orchestral, and chamber musical instrument. In this broad-ranging account Eric Hoeprich, a performer, teacher, and expert on historical clarinets, explores its development, repertoire, and performance history. Looking at the antecedents of the clarinet, as well as such related instruments as the chalumeau, basset horn, alto clarinet, and bass clarinet, Hoeprich explains the use and development of the instrument in the Baroque age. The period from the late 1700s to Beethoven's early years is shown to have fostered ever wider distribution and use of the instrument, and a repertoire of increasing richness. The first half of the nineteenth century, a golden age for the clarinet, brought innovation in construction and great virtuosity in performance, while the following century and a half produced a surge in new works from many composers. The author also devotes a chapter to the role of the clarinet in bands, folk music, and jazz.

This book was released on 1968 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of this paper is the apprenticeship of the clarinet as an orchestral instrument. The period covered is from the very beginnings of the instrument up to the time it began to appear regularly in the woodwind choir. The approach used was (a) to read all available books and articles on the subject, and (b) to analyze selected scores of the 18th century. Xeroxed examples of the music discussed are included in this paper. The first chapter presents a brief descriptive history of the invention of the clarinet and its subsequent physical development from the early 2-keyed model shaped like a recorder to the classical 5 to 6-keyed instrument. Chapter II deals with scores of the first half of the 18th century beginning with opera scores containing sporadic parts labeled "chalumeau" to the use of the clarinet by Vivaldi and Rameau. Chapter III is concerned with the orchestral use of the clarinet at Mannheim. Chapter IV takes the clarinet through the active years leading to its full acceptance into the woodwind choir. In summary, it was found that hte composers most directly responsible for the clarinet's eventual success were (a) early innovators in orchestration such as Reinhard Keiser of Hamburg and others, who first "broke the ground"; (b) Antonio Vivaldi for his characteristic writing for the instrument in three recently discovered concertos; (c) Jean Phillip Rameau for his introduction of the clarinet into the Paris Opera Orchestra; (d) Christian Cannabich for his intelligent, individual clarinet parts; (e) Francois Joseph Gossec for his use of the instrument in La Poupliniere's orchestra; (f) Johann Christian Bach for his use of the instrument in England; (g) Christoph Gluck for his eventual acceptance of the clarinet as a regular member of the ensemble in some of his later works; (h) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for his wholehearted acceptance and unreserved use of the instrument; and (i) Ludwig van Beethoven for helping to solidify the clarinet's newly won position in the orchestra by regularly including it in all of his orchestral scores. It was found that physical improvements leading to the appearance of specialists on the clarinet were also a factor in the instrument's acceptance. It was no longer thought of as just a doubling instrument for oboe players. The clarinet's supplantation of the oboe in the military band undoubtedly helped the instrument gain a wider base of acceptance. The developing concepts of orchestration during the 18th century also were a factor in the clarinet's acceptance; its use as a color instrument by opera composers is an example. The readiness of the clarinet to blend with other instruments and with the human voice were important assets. The clarinet's supreme control of dynamics spoke well for it as the effects of sudden pp's and ff's and crescendo and decrescendo came into widespread use. Finally, it was found that, based on available scores and with the exception of Christian Cannabich and one short opera excerpt by Ignaz Holzbauer, the use of the clarinet in the orchestra by the composers at Mannheim had nothing to distinguish it from its use by other composers of the time.

Download or read book Short Orchestral Works written by Alice Mary Smith and published by A-R Editions, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most prolific women composers of her time, Alice Mary Smith (183984) produced the greatest number of publicly performed large-scale orchestral and choral works of any of her gender. This edition presents three of her short orchestral compositions for the first time in print. The Andante for Clarinet and Orchestra, an orchestral transcription of the slow movement of Smiths Sonata for Clarinet and Piano of 1870, was greatly admired by the English clarinetist Henry Lazarus, who performed it multiple times. The two intermezzi, along with the overture, comprise the complete orchestral music from Smiths grand choral cantata The Masque of Pandora, a setting of Henry Wadsworth Longfellows epic poem. Designed as independent instrumental movements, Smith fully orchestrated the intermezzi for a performance in 1879 by the New Philharmonic Society under William Ganz. In the introduction to the edition, Graham-Jones includes a brief biography of Smith and reproduces numerous reviews and program notes from the various performances of these three works.

Download or read book From the Clarinet D Amour to the Contra Bass written by Albert R. Rice and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-31 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following his much-acclaimed The Baroque Clarinet and The Clarinet in the Classical Period, Albert R. Rice now turns his signature detailed attention to large clarinets - the clarinet d'amour, the basset horn, the alto clarinet, bass and contra bass clarinets. Each chapter is devoted to a specific instrument, and offers a fascinating insider's look at its defining characteristics, a comprehensive history of its evolution, meticulously-researched information on its makers and aspects of construction, and a thorough discussion of its music. Rice illustrates how the introduction of large clarinets into chamber ensembles, wind bands, and opera orchestras was the result of experiments meant to address specific musical needs. Along the way, he brings to life the musicians, virtuosi, soloists, and orchestral and band musicians, as well as the instruments' makers and the composers from J. C. Bach to Smetana who wrote for them. Based on careful study of primary sources - musical compositions, patents, memoirs and diaries, and unfettered access to historical instruments themselves--Rice's expert presentation is nothing short of exhaustive. From the Clarinet d'Amour to the Contrabass will engage all who love the clarinet and its music.
