Hello everyone,
I need some suggestions for a song. I was wondering if anyone knew of a clarinet solo that involved movement, basically choreographed. Like walking around stage, jumping, vocal cues, etc. I am looking for a piece to end a recital with, something fun and that will make the audience remember the recital. (Even if the rest of it, doesn't go as planned). I personally have never seen a piece written like such, but I wanted to turn the insightful minds of this forum, before giving up the search. Thank you in advance for the suggestion. (if any)

Harlekin by Stockhausen is the main one that fits this description.

Stockhausen's In Freundschaft can be performed with movement. Check out the Han Kim performance:

Although I wouldn't exactly classify it as a "fun" piece. Stockhausen doesn't dictate it have movement, he says it should be heard by the audience as if ones eyes are closed. Or something like that (It's written in the score). This is Kim's interpretation as such.
I also think Anders Hillborg's Concerto calls for miming and dancing. It was commissioned for Frost and is a mammoth, difficult work. But there is a clarinet/piano edition published by, I think, Peters. I'm not sure about video, but there is definitely a recording out there of it.

Check out any Martin Frost video. He considers dance a valid extension of music, and channels a portion of a music festival he's associated with (I forget the name) into that combination.
Personally, I'm astounded by Frost's playing, but not his movements. He's all over the place even in the Mozart concerto, even during tutti's, swaying and gazing at the rafters. It reminds me of Glenn Gould's singing while performing piano - a negative. My peanut gallery opinion, eyes open or closed, is that Frost's interpretations would be better if he focused on the music more and the choreography less.

Tattoo for One has some movements in it (spinning in a circle) although it is quite demanding

Do you really want them to remember you for ... your dancing?

Shameless plug: My "Fibonacci's Dance," for bass clarinet and piano, can be played with the clarinetist moving around or it can be accompanied by a male dancer in the role of Fibonacci. He's supposed to act drunk.

I've also posted transposition for basset horn or alto clarinet with piano:
http://www.scoreexchange.com/scores/74060.html
The score is free of charge because I'm an amateur. To print out the individual parts, just click on the highlighted names of those parts above the score, on the first page. There's also an audio, despite the misleading ScoreExchange message that says there isn't one. There's no MP3, but if you have downloaded the free Scorch plug in, just click on the Scorch link and hit the "forward" button above the score to hear your computer pretend to be a pair of musicians.
[I came back to correct the links. These links are correct.

Lelia- when I click on your links I get directed to pieces by other composers. Am I doing something wrong?

No, I'm the one who did something wrong -- twice. In a hurry, I typed both of my own links wrong. I just now corrected them above, and checked to make sure that they do go to my scores.
Duh!
Sorry about that -- and thank you for asking the question. I should always check my own links.
