Program Notes

The word kelarnit refers to the Hebrew word for clarinet. The work begins with the three tonalities of the instruments of the quartet (E-fl at, B-fl at, and F). The timbre of each individual instrument in the quartet, plus the various combinations and roles of each of the instruments, give this piece a distinctly Jewish musical flavor. The original work was a quartet commissioned by the Barcelona Clarinet Players in 2012, with the ensemble giving the premiere at the Auditorium of Barcelona. The work was then arranged for clarinet quartet and wind orchestra.
