David Bruce s Forgotten Boots Clarinet Challenge DBC2 - David Bruce Composer 2 2021-02-18 | 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 Links to files:Clarinet Part: http://www.davidbruce.net/boots/forgotten_boots_clarinet.pdfScore: http://www.davidbruce.net/boots/forgotten_boots.pdfMP3: http://www.davidbruce.net/boots/Bruce_Forgotten_Boots_Sequoia.mp3WAV: http://www.davidbruce.net/boots/Bruce_Forgotten_Boots_Sequoia.wav
