Subj: [kl] new clarinet 4tet music
Date: Wed, 06 Jul 2011 18:42:42 -0400

Hi! I'm not sure of the policies of this forum (I can't find a link for
them on the Klarinet page that I've bookmarked), but if it's okay, I
wanted to mention that I'm a composer and have just arranged a couple
new clarinet quartets.

I'm having an absolute ball writing for clarinet! It is such a
blending, adaptable instrument. Anyway, below are audio demos of the
new stuff. Of course if you don't want to click on something you don't
know, you can just google Elkjer Music and it's all there.

April Showers

bossa nova---click to hear)
God Bless the Child
<http://robertelkjer.net/Clarinet4tets/GodBless4CL.mp3> (Billie Holiday
classic ballad---click to hear)

Scored for 3 Bflat clars/bass clar (low Eb).

Here are some kind words from woodwind professionals:/
Robert Elkjer's woodwind arrangements are refreshingly innovative,
creative, challenging, and excellent in every way.
Trevor Cramer (bassoonist), owner of Trevco Music///

/Wonderful! The players were absolutely gleaming when we finished.
The writing is light, refreshing; a mix of rhythmic and tonal colors that are different.
Greg Cohill, Director, Quintessential Winds,
Wind Quintet, Springfield, IL

//The 8th National Woodwind Ensemble recently performed ""Do Nothin Till You Hear From Me"" in Albany, NY. We had fun playing it, and our audience loved it./
/Joanne Stiff, Clarinetist// /

Thanks for reading! -Bob Elkjer
