This octet may be played complete or as two separate quartets. The notion behind the work was to entertain a clarinet ensemble who enjoy the more sedate "classical" repertoire, whilst the saxophonists would rather be "Jazzing it up", and so the two ensembles have their wish within the one piece. I feel it works best with both quartets combined but I have made strenuous efforts to ensure that independent performances are possible. The octet version should be played antiphonally and some costuming might be add to the fun with the clarinets in formal attire, with those layabout good-for-nothing saxophones dressed in more hippy gear.

Although an alternative Soprano Sax part is provided, the composer would much prefer you to use 2 Altos.

Canzona 341 Plus is an expanded version of my original octet (see above) with extra parts for additional instruments. It was designed to be performed by a combined Clarinet Quartet and Saxophone Quartet, but could also be performed by either ensemble as a stand-alone piece. The notion behind the work was to entertain a clarinet ensemble who enjoy the more sedate "classical" repertoire, whilst the saxophonists would rather be "Jazzing it up", and so the two ensembles have their wish within the one piece. Although it works best with both quartets combined, independent performances are quite possible.

United performances should be played antiphonally and some costuming might be add to the fun with the clarinets in formal attire, with those layabout good-for-nothing saxophones dressed in more hippy gear.

This piece is a feature for the principal clarinettist in the ensemble, and the part is demanding. The accompanying parts are not too hard. Scored for Single Reed Ensemble, namely 4 Bb clarinets, Bass Clarinet, 2 Alto Saxophones and a Tenor, with optional Baritone Saxophone to cover the Bass Clarinet part). This scoring was requested in the commission but if you run a single reed ensemble and would prefer a variation on this format, do please let me know.

Up and About (formerly known as Topsy and Biggles) is pure entertainment with some fast fingering for the clarinets. A Rondo with contrasting sections which is not too hard but there are some challenges for the clarinets. The Tenor saxophone is optional but it adds depth. There is also a Baritone Saxophone part available which doubles the Bass Clarinet.

A piece in swing style to keep your clarinets and saxophones amused. The Tenor Saxophone is optional but there is no 'easy' clarinet part as the swing rhythm makes all the parts reasonably demanding.

A friend of mine was bemoaning the lack of material for "Single Reed Ensemble" so I have written this piece as, hopefully, the start of many. Whilst not intended as an "educational" piece, the 4th clarinet can be played below the break. If you would like variations in the scoring of "single reed" pieces, do let me know so I can write to suit peoples needs. Although this piece is quite easy, I intend some more challenging repertoire.
