Looking for Organ music with clarinet ( transcriptions)

PostMon Jun 02, 2014 8:04 am

Dear Hw musicians


* I just visited a vesper in de "Grote Kerk of Dordrecht" ( a'n old city in the Netherlands where I live,) yesterday and there the organist played together with a Clarinetplayer .

It was very lovely, and it appealed greatly to me to try this for myself , so I am looking for suitable music for Organ and Clarinet :)

pls let me know if you have some advice regarding pieces I could use


Kind regards

Hans

Go to youtube, and enter “Clarinet and organ” into their search box – it's surprising how many items appear. There's also quite a lot for saxophone and organ.

I'm fond of Finzi's Five Bagatelles for clarinet and piano; the Romance is really beautiful, and works as an organ solo; so it should also work if you can see how to transcribe the piano part for organ:

The organ actually sounds well with most instruments – I wish people would be more enterprising about exploring the possibilities. A friend of mine arranged Walford Davies' “Solemn Melody” for organ and recorder ensemble, so that his school recorder group could play it while processing – it sounded wonderful! One of my pupils is a good violinist, so we arranged John Ireland's Vilanella for violin and organ – it was fine. Instead of alternating the melody between manuals, alternate between organ and violin. This performance is possibly a little fast, but will give you an idea:

You could also try the Bach trio sonatas - just transpose one of the lines for clarinet.

Good luck!
