Listen to James Grant's Concerto for Bass Clarinet and Strings

I found this link a while ago while web-surfing

http://www.jamesgrantmusic.com/BassClarinetists.htm

I'm no where near being a professional musician so I'll keep my thoughts to myself but to my ears the piece sounds really nice.
I just wanted to share this work with those who haven't heard it yet.

Nice piece - the bass cl player sounds like he's on, or past the edge technically so that's a bit distracting, but sounds like a cool work.

What is "off the hook" is that the entire work is right there to hear along with the Score and Bass Clarinet Part.

Cool site, nice work.

Thanks TrueApricot for sharing this information. The piece starts out like a lot of "American" music of the 1930's-40's, but gets a lot more interesting as it progresses. I downloaded the solo part, and it's a handfull--I can hardly wait until I get a grad student to inflict it on!

Your address information would seem to indicate that you are a fellow Fairfax County resident -- do I know you?
