Clarinet

The special instrumentation of the big band guarantees amazing tuttis but equally allows the opportunity to perform quiet ballads. Playing in a big band is an experience you will not forget in a hurry. Unfortunately, playing a solo - as the genre name suggests - is reserved for only a few. However, with this book, you can be the center of attention as you get the opportunity to play the leading part in these swinging pieces. Almost all the pieces have been newly written in the syle of the great big bands but you will also come across two famous hits: Barry Manilows sultry Copacabana and Stevie Wonder's fabulous You Are the Sunshine of My Life.

Take a blues cruise with this collection of 13 wonderful pieces. Major and minor keys are used, and many different forms of the blues are covered, including hip-hop, bossa nova, reggae, and more. Includes CD for demonstration and play-along.

Features 7 sensational original jazz solos for clarinet by talented composer Allen Vizzutti. Each piece includes written improvisations, and the CD features excellent full-performance backing tracks.

The Bach/Gounod composition is arranged by Lorenzo Bocci for clarinet quintet, grade 2.5.

These book/CD collections feature 20 well-known classical themes expertly arranged for two instruments. The pieces are in chronological order, so players can take a journey through classical music, from Purcell, to Haydn and Schubert, and ending with Grieg. The CD includes the second part, as well as a performance of the duet.
