i think it would be fun if a few of us would start working on some number that we could play togeather in New orlens. i like broadway music and would like to suggest either les Miserables,Man of la mancha,porgy and Bess or fiddler on the roof.
let me know if you are interested and what you would like to do.
You have 10 months to get ready.
Bob

Hmmm... I'm not going to clarinetfest, but I do have a version of Stardust that is arranged for a clarinet quartet. I don't have any of the music from Fiddler (Only stuff I've memorized), but if you are looking for some klezmer I may be able to help. Also, there is a wonderful arrangement for clarinet polka, again for a clarinet quartet. Let me know if you are interested. -- Nate Zeien

Last week while listening to late night jazz on my favorite NPR station, I heard a lovely, lush, jazz/newage number featuring a Bass Clarinetist. The performer was later identified as David Byrun/Byrum/Brian (or something like that), and of course I neglected to write down the pertinent details thinking that I would remember the name and be able to find the CD through an online search. Guess what,......no dice, no performers with names anywhere near these. Can anyone identify who I heard or provide pointers to other online information sources or CD numbers.
Thanks,
Mike Hancock

Several years ago, we had a fine clar. choir in Tulsa, very enjoyable, I was the alto cl player and invested in my Selmer for it. I believe the moderate-sized "book" is still in T-town, and I could investigate its availability. There were a number of readily playable arrangements of classics etc such as Mozart's Eine Klein N M, a beautiful Londonderry Air, some originals for cl choir etc. I believe that a minimum of 3 Bb sop's, 1 each for Eb sop, Eb alto, Bb bass, BBb contrabass, perhaps an EEb contraalto would be needed to cover all parts, we doubled each at times with quite skilled players for greater volume depending on performance site size. Bob G, I would visualize providing parts to some 8-20 committed players in advance of the fest so it could be integrated in 1 or 2 rehearsals before a performance. Wasn't there a choir at Norman, OK, how was it organized? Just a thot. Don

The Choir @ ClarinetFest is a "staple". It is open to *ANY* participant, regardless of age or amateur/student/teacher/pro status.
Leslie, my daughter, who was 14 @ the time, was the youngest participant @ Norman this past July, 2000 & she shared a stand with someone 2 generations older. They had a ball. I had a look @ the music &, IMO, it was challenging.
Leslie is an advanced player for her age. She had fun, but I would have had to work! (the majority of players seemed to be experienced amateurs & college students from OU & elsewhere. I offer this only to give an idea to those who might be planning to attend ClarinetFest 2001/N.O. & want some idea of what the Choir will be like. The Choir was recorded.
They have plenty of music to hand out, with no limitations on size & this past July they had a highly respected conductor from academia, IMMSMR.
Good luck to all.

Sounds good to me. I would just like to practice as mush in advance as possible. I'm not in the same league as a lot of others members, but what I lack in talent I make up for in brass.
Who else would enter a variety show with only two month of playing time. i had a great time and walked out alive.
This year i will be a lot better then i was last year.
