Subj: [kl] History of clarinet choir?!
Date: Wed, 13 May 1998 13:49:29 -0400

I would be grateful for info - any at all! - about the origin of the
clarinet choir as ensemble form. What role was played by Leblanc? Lucien
Cailliet? American high schools/colleges? When did you experienced
gentlemen/-women first learn about the existence of "a gaggle of clarinets"
playing together? This a fifties thing?

[Reason: Have formed cl. ch. Not so common in Sweden, Europe. Will address
audience on this subject during summer evening concert.]

Any web page to recommend?
