Wind Ensemble
What is an advanced bass clarinet solo suitable for a wind ensemble audition?
I saw Michael Drapkin’s Symphonic Repertoire for the Bass Clarinet, but it is not distributed in music stores near me. Im looking for something that is expressive and lyrical, but also will show off my technique. Any concerto type pieces written for bass clarinet?
Again, I need something that any music store would have, because I only have a month and dont have time for 4 week shipping.
The solo literature for bass clarinet can be very difficult to find in a music store. The Michael Drapkin Sym Rep books are excellent for advanced bass clarinetists, but all of the excerpts are from orchestral pieces (at least the 1st book anyway). Also, you will need to transpose some excerpts, play in bass clef, and you will need a low C bass clarinet to play from that book. There are several short pieces that you can order from jwpepper.com here are some suggestions…
Sonata in A Minor – Transcribed by C. Hite
Ballade – by Bodza – (popular woodwind composer)
Deepwood – by Bennett – Popular as a high school audition piece.
Those piece could probably be shipped in less than a week.
Hope that helps
