Dusk (Clarinet Choir)

Browse Catalog

Instrumentation:   Clarinet ChoirChamber

Commissioned by the Texas Christian University Clarinet Choir, conducted by Corey Mackey, who gave the premiere July 1st, 2022 at the International Clarinet Association ClarinetFest in Reno, NV.

The program note from the original band version:
This simple, chorale-like work captures the reflective calm of dusk, paradoxically illuminated by the fiery hues of sunset. I’m always struck by the dual nature of this experience, as if witnessing an event of epic proportions silently occurring in slow motion. Dusk is intended as a short, passionate evocation of this moment of dramatic stillness.

Video masterclass covering interpretive aspects of the piece, led by Steven Davis with the UMKC Wind Symphony.

SOLO & ENSEMBLE VERSIONS:
SOLO versions of Dusk (for just about every band or orchestra instrument + piano or video accompaniment) found here.

SOLO PIANO version

Here’s the live premiere, with a bit of bleed-through from other performances in the background, but still a lovely performance!
