>> I have a student who is looking for Clarinet and percussion pieces for a
>> recital in the spring.

I would also recommend a piece called B.U. Girls by David Jones, a work in
four movents, for A and Bb clarinet (Bb mvt. 1&3, A mvt. 2&4). The piece is
somewhat challenging, and requires quite a setup for the percussionist, but
the final movement (A clarinet and marimba) would stand alone and is very
accessible. Mr. Jones can be reached at djones@-----.edu
Jones is a clarinetist, and his pieces are fun to play and fit the clarinet
well.

>I think the piece you mention may be David Burge's Sources III (1967).

Sources III is a little weird, and the percussionist I worked with said it
was pretty tough for him. The audience liked it a lot, but I had nightmares
about my hair catching on fire as I blew out the candles.
