Programme notes

Scores: Eid Milaad Saeed

For solo Bb clarinet [2000]  Duration: c.2 mins.

Written for Gary Carpenter s' 50th Birthday.

 

Notes:

Eid milaad saeed means ‘Happy Birthday' in Arabic. This short piece was written as a gift to celebrate the 50th birthday of a past teacher of mine, Gary Carpenter . It was performed by Madis Kari at the Craxton Studios in Hampstead, London on the 4th May 2000 and was selected as the RNCM 3rd year undergraduate exam piece for clarinet in 2007).The work is deliberately written in a free style without time signatures to give the illusion of an improvised performance as would be the case in eastern European and Arabic countries. The score is aptly marked ‘quasi bagpipes/shanai'.
