Repertoire Request

I'd appreciate any suggestions for music written for this combination of instruments: organ, string quartet, and clarinet.

I did a Google search but didn't come up with anything.

Thanks in advance.

I didn't see any there that are clarinet, string quartet, and organ. However, there are quite a few clarinet, string quartet, and piano. Maybe these could be adapted? There are also a couple clarinet and organ pieces (listed under Clarinet and Keyboard), but they don't have strings. Good luck.

Thanks Andy. I had looked at Luyben and already have several of the selections for organ & clarinet.

We are rededicating the organ in our church after an extensive overhaul and a hired string quartet will be part of the dedication concert. Our organist asked if I was aware of any pieces for organ, quartet, and clarinet. I'm starting to think it may be a futile hunt or I'll find something that will make 3/4 of the congregation run from the hall with their ears bleeding.

Not that that's such a bad thing.

Sounds like intonation hell to me, and balance hell too unless the organist is very restrained. Like PDQ Bach's concerto for bagpipe and lute, this may be a combination that is rare for good reasons.

Are you intending to perform this in a church? Make sure you can all fit in the organ loft, or you may have fun with finding yourself way out of time with the organist.

On a more positive note, have you tried searching for music intended for harmonium rather than organ? Just guessing, but that might be more fruitful.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.
