Writing for Clarinet - Call for Composers
Following the success of the first two workshops for
horn and
violin,
Composition:Today announces a new workshop for composers interested in
writing for the Clarinet, scheduled for Jan 2007.
We are looking for short extracts (not necessarily finished works)
, exercises testing out a particular technique, or
can even be just a question (eg. How high can you comfortably trill?),
or they might be short pieces (1 page max).
Composers may write for Bb clarinet, Eb clarinet, and Bass clarinet (with C extension). There is also the possibility of contrabass clarinet,
depending on demand.
The session will be recorded by top UK Clarinetist and artist director of acclaimed ensemble
Chroma, Stuart King,
and performed extracts and examples will be available to the public on
the C:T site at a later date.
By sending in your work you grant us a permanent license to use a recording of the extract on the CompositionToday website.
On your entry please state whether you wish the extract to remain anonymous or not if it is published on the C:T site.
Anyone may send in an extract or a question, but priority will be given to CompositionToday members. Whilst we do hope being able to perform most extracts,
we do not guarantee that all entries will be performed.
Even if you are not writing a piece at the moment, why not send in a few bars as
an experiment!
Deadline for entries: 12 Dec 2006
Please send your question, or a digital copy of your extract (Sibelius or Finale) to
or by post to:
