Hi Stephanie,

Karl Henning, a composer/clarinetist in the Boston area, has several
works for clarinet and organ. I'm certain that Karl premiered each of
these himself, though I don't recall offhand which of them were
premiered at First Congregational Church in Woburn and which were
premiered at the Episcopal Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Boston. Here
are some titles, and Karl's description of duration and difficulty of each:

Fantasy on Aberystwyth
ca 5-6 minutes
clarinet: easy
organ: moderately difficult

Fantasy on a Tallis Hymn
ca 10 minutes
clarinet: moderately difficult
organ: quite easy

Canzona & Gigue (written for a performance this past July 4)
ca 7 minutes
clarinet: easy on the Canzona; agile, rather demanding on the Gigue
organ: very easy

Lux Nova Press handles Karl Henning's music, but the latter two pieces
are in the production queue and so not yet buyable "off the shelf" from
a retailer. However, if someone has a string interest in performing
them soon, we can arrange to make performance materials available.
