I've enjoyed playing the musicals, everything from "Iolanthe" (G&S) to "Grease", The King and I, Lil' Abner, etc.

My favorite would be anything I haven't played. So, that would be everything because I haven't played anything yet. Still looking forward to it.
I think maybe I could play "Pretend" (you know, sung by Nat K. Cole back in the fifties) if I had the music to it. It might be that none of the notes are into the clarion region - I just haven't arrived there yet.

When I was a kid in High school I loved transcriptons like The Damnation of Faust by Berlioz, Tocatta and Fugue by Bach, Raymond by Thomas, Ruslan and Ludmilla by Glinka and Shostakovich Fifth. In colledge my band director ruined several good pieces for me by endlessly picking them apart and rehearsing them to death. Pieces like La fiesta Mexicana and the Gianini Symphony. One of my favorites is still Ameerican Overture for Band by Jenkins.

Like Jbutler , I have enjoyed many Bdwy musicals [for the hit tunes] and for the philosophy in the dialog. In the more classical, the L'Arlesienne suites by Bizet, having played the oboe, clar and alto sax parts, Midsummer Nites Dream[s?] by Mendelssohn , several of Tschaikovsky's [sp?], the Nut in partic., and the orchestral versions from Wagner's Ring [when I have the time]. Is my German ancestry evident?? Don

As a bass clarinetist, I love transposing anything by Shoshtakovich (the man knew how to write parts for the bass instruments). Definitely La Fiesta Mexicana, you can actually see the church in the Mass movement. A new favorite of mine is An American Elegy by Frank Tichelli. My personal part is very fun, but the song gives me goosebumps everytime I hear or play it.

If I ever meet Frank Tichelli, I'm going to give him a big hug and say "Thank you for the bass solos on Blue Shades, and the rockin' contra part on Vesuvius!"

I like a lot of the Broadway musicals and movie scores. However, there is a piece called Romanian Rapsodie I got off eBay and our community band played it last fall. It features the clarinets mainly and I like it a lot.

Hmmm....twoothers came to mind: Rimsky-Korsakov's Capricco Espagnol (for obvious reasons =) and Arotunian's Trumpet Concerto (both for being a great piece to hear, and for a wonderful clarinet solo part on the melody which precedes the trumpet's entrance on the second theme).

My favorite solo I have done so far is: Aria by Bozza. My favorite band piece I have done so far is: I Am by andrew Boysen Jr. I am in Middle School still so I have a lot of songs that I will like but I like these a lot.

There is just something about the Mozart Clarinet concerto that is simply magical.
Everytime I play it I find a new interpretation, no matter how many great players played, no matter how beautifully they made it sound, there is still room for your own interpretation and it's just one of the best piece of of music ever written for a woodwind instrument.
Sorry that was not very original...

Don't worry about not being original, Sylvain. I like Mozart myself. I really like Mozart's Clarinet Quintet.

The piece I've played which made my heart beat the fastest is probably Mozart's requiem. Played 1st part on the basset horn with Zürich's chamber orchestra and the choir of the american school of Zürich. Most simple and complicated piece I know.
Otherwise for solo, as Sylvain, I believe in the mozart's concerto.
Mozart all the way !
(especially what he wrote at the end of his life)

I really love the second movement of the Finzi concerto. I also like the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto (the one in e minor) a lot. As for band, well, I have to say Hounds of Spring is a ton of fun to play even if it isn't much musically. The Hoe Down from Rodeo is also great as long as you keep the tempo and the fingers in control.

Yeah, Finzi concerto is nice - since I sing and play 4 instruments as well as clari - my list is endless. Children's corner - Debussy, Rutter Requiem, Any Chopin pieces are CLASS!! - Weber Grand Duo is one of my favorites. Opera - Tristan Und Isolde - Shocking!!
Loads of stuff I just can't remember......

My last year in high school, we played a piece called "Of Sailers and Whales" by MacBeth. It has an Naquatic sound to it as it is about Moby Dick. it's awesome!
