Program Notes
Caprice for Clarinets by Clare Grundman features the entire clarinet section performing as a clarinet choir. It is interesting to focus on just one section of the ensemble and to observe that that is is capable of standing alone.
Clare Ewing Grundman was one of the most prolific and highly respected composers for band on the American scene. His activities include score and arrangements for radio, television, motion pictures, ballet and Broadway musicals.
