DBC2 - David Bruce Composer 2 | David Bruce 's "Forgotten Boots" Clarinet Challenge @dbc2 | Uploaded February 2021 | Updated October 2024, 31 minutes ago.
Clarinettists! Do you want to be part of a David Bruce premiere?
‘Forgotten Boots’ was originally a movement from my clarinet quintet ‘Gumboots’ (performed at the start of this video by Todd Palmer & the St Lawrence String Quartet) I removed it from Gumboots (much to annoyance of violinist Geoff Nuttall who said it was his favourite movement!) because I felt it didn’t work in the context of the larger piece - but I still like it as a little dance in its own right.
I’ve made a couple of new versions of it, but one - for clarinet and piano - has never been performed. It's a fun piece, only 2 minutes long, and would probably be a good concert 'encore'. I got my friend and piano legend, Sequoia to play the piano part (see 1:00 )
Links to the clarinet part and Sequoia’s audio are below.
Now is your chance to be a part of the ‘premiere’ - if you’d like to have a go, I’d love to see your version, playing along to Sequoia’s audio.
Please email audio and video of your performance to davidbrucescores@gmail.com
