 Simple Arranging
Author: conrad

About two years ago I joined a clarinet duo with a rhythm section . My predecessor had moved away and as he was the arranger for the group we have now almost exhausted his repertoire.

Are there any ways in which we could learn to do simple arrangements so we can take a simple melody and make it into a two-part clarinet piece?

Nothing complex!!!

Hal Leonard publishes a series of jazz duet books for clarinet and other instruments that are surprisingly good arrangements. Each title is available in editions for different instruments that are all in compatible keys. All parts have chording transposed for that instrument, which helps you extend the written arrangements with improvisation on the same changes. If you have a rhythm section, the piano, bass, or guitar can use the flute/violin book to have the concert key chording that fits with the clarinet parts. But the duet arrangements of jazz and pop standards can stand alone.

Titles in the series include Jazz Gems for Two, Jazz Favorites for Two, Great Jazz Duets, 15 Top Jazz Duets, Jazz Duets Classics, and Jazz Duets Standards.

I recently bought some sheet music from top score music (has a store at That Auction Site, but the policies here forbid linking to e* so you'd have to mail me directly) with jazz/blues duets. Good arrangements, nice tunes, very reasonably prices.

I then had a question about the typesetting of one piece (just two bars per line instead of eg four), mailed the author about it and promptly got a re-typeset .pdf within 24 hours. Dunno if his arrangements are mix and match for differently pitched instruments, but one could always ask.
