I am a composer who is new to Klarinetlist, so I thought I would
introduce myself. My music typically fits the description of accessible
without pandering. Since I have noticed list postings requesting
repertory suggestions, I would like to offer information on four pieces I
have written that involve clarinet:

1. Poh Ben Suite - an 8 minute, three movement set of jazz pieces for Bb
Clarinet and Piano. Written in 1992 for Clarinetist Ben Coleman and
Pianist Kee Poh Lim (two of my best friends in college), this suite was
premiered by them at Queens College, and has since been performed in both
Minneapolis and in NYC.

2. Boreas and Zephyrus - an 8 minute, single movement piece for Bb
Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, and Piano. Written in 1994 as a piece originally
for MIDI Clarinet and Electronics for John Anderson of the University of
Minnesota, I rearranged it in 1996. The new version will be premiered in
March at the Chelsea Center on Long Island, by students of Naomi Drucker.

3. Concentric Dance - a 9 minute, single movement wind trio (Flute, Bb
Clarinet, and Bassoon), written in late 1996 for the Mariah Wind Trio, who
will perform the piece in Kansas in March and in Missouri in May. The
piece is jazzy, with a minimalist tinge to it.

Although members of the list have been disparaging this ensemble of late:
4. Jiminez Suite - an 8 minute, three movement set of vignettes for
Woodwind Quintet, inspired by three poems dealing with memory and remorse
by Juan Ramon Jiminez. Written in 1993, this piece has been performed by
The Emerald Winds (Ohio), the North Woods Quintet (Minnesota), and the
Quintet of the Americas (New York).

If any of these pieces are of interest to you, please contact me by
snailmail/email at : Charles Griffin / 77-16 Austin St., Apt. 5G / Forest
Hills, NY 11375 or dbroadhu@-----.edu

Thank you for you indulgence.
