The first clarinet part of Lux Aurumque by Eric Whitacre has a tremolo from throat Bb to the D above. Any suggestions?

I'd second David's advice with the additional thought that, whatever comes out, a composer who writes something like that deserves whatever he gets in a performance.

Dan:
I've always taken the attitude on awkward trills/tremolos to play straight sixteenths. Let the others do the 'heavy lifting' with speed. I suspect ultimately no one will know what you're doing and you at least can make smooth artistic transition. Also the composer will still have chord integrity maintained.
~just my opinion. I've never had a conductor say a word to me to date.

Play a D to B tremolo with your large toe stuffed up the bell to flatten the pitch of the B VERY close to a Bb? That'd be my best effort.

It would be quite a sight to see a whole section doing that. Can *you* actually do that???
