	Notes on Clarinet Concerto by Aaron Copland
		Aaron Copland's Concerto for Clarinet and String Orchestra with Harp and Piano is another such commission, one which Copland eagerly accepted, stating, though, that it would have never occurred to him on his own to write a clarinet concerto.
		Copland did not collaborate with Goodman in composing the work, although, Goodman did make several requests for modifications after the Concerto was presented to him.
		Copland stated: "The clarinet Concerto is cast in a two-movement form, played without pause, and connected by a cadenza for the solo instrument.

	Aaron Copland - Clarinet Concerto
		Copland realised early on that jazz and neo-classicism weren't enough to see him through.
		After the success of his Piano Concerto (1927) he moved on into stark modernism, but, realising that this alienated his audiences, worked still harder to create a personal style that would reflect popular music without compromising his personal voice.
		Scored in primary colours, Copland's mature music has a breadth and simplicity which evokes both the freedom and the loneliness of America's great cities and vast open spaces.

	NPRN Composer of the Month
		Copland wrote ballets, for example, in which there is a visual and physical dimension, and he also was one of the first composers of film music to reject the Romantic clichés and excesses on which the genre had been based to that time.
		Copland was quick to point out that this piece was not his most deeply considered: "It is a work, written to order, for a great crowd of people, on a patriotic subject." But unlike many of his admirers, he never tried to deny or downplay its popularity.
		Copland, however, manages to achieve a larger picture than to concentrate on Billy-the opening procession is brought back at the end, which suggests that the episode of Billy's rebelliousness, capture, escape, and eventual death are merely a part of the vast panorama of history in the Wild West and, by extension, of America itself.

	Music Preview: PSO clarinetist votes 'no' on vibrato for classical works
		Paul Drushler, a clarinet player and music history scholar who once taught at the State University of New York at Brockport, has studied the vibrato wars involving the instrument and says some of the pronouncements border on ranting.
		Finally, Richard Stoltzman, one of the best-known clarinet soloists in the world, says he thinks the no-vibrato rule might have something to do with the fact that jazz clarinet soloists are often in the spotlight, leading bands, bending and swaying, interacting with the audience.
		The clarinet vibrato controversy is obviously not on most people's radar at all, and even many classical music fans may not be aware of the no-vibrato bias.

		Clarinets are descendants of the chalumeau, with a cylindrical bore and a single reed.
		Clarinets are relatively recent additions to the orchestra and are standard instruments in the concert band, symphonic band, military bands, wind ensembles, and chamber ensembles.
		The clarinet sound is produced by the vibrations of the reed attached to the mouthpiece as the air moves across it.

	Clarinet Concerto (Copland) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aaron Copland wrote his clarinet concerto between 1947 and 1948.
		Soon aftering completing his Third Symphony, Copland was commissioned by the world famous jazz clarinetist, Benny Goodman to compose for him a clarinet concerto.
		Compland once told Phillip Ramey that his decisions to use jazz materials was "inspired by Goodman's playing" but that, "contrary to certain commentators, the jazz elements in the Clarinet Concerto have nothing to do with the 'hot jazz' improvisation for which Benny Goodman and his sextet were noted".

	Aaron Copland - Clarinet Concerto [TH]: Classical CD Reviews- Nov 2002 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Copland packs a lot into seventeen minutes, and the mood swings and marvellous variety of material are superbly judged by all.
		Copland in super-Stravinsky mode is always exciting, and it is nicely balanced by the elegiac slow section, with its hints of later works to come.
		Copland had always toyed with serialism, and this piece does have hints of a tone-row, albeit eleven rather than twelve (this may point to Copland’s ambivalent attitude to the method).

		Goodman asked Copland to write the work in 1947, two years after the composer won the Pulitzer Prize for the ballet Appalachian Spring and another two before he was to win an Academy Award for music from The Heiress.
		The year 1947 also saw Copland off on a four-month Latin American tour; as a result, shadows of Latin musical styles can be found in the Clarinet Concerto's boisterous second movement.
		Copland finished the work in the fall of 1948, soon after returning from the tour, but Goodman was reluctant to play the original edition, expressing worry about the often-tricky rhythmic notation and extensive use of the instrument's upper register in the second movement.

		Copland, who was reunited with Martha Graham for a performance of "Appalachian Spring," which she commissioned in 1944, recalls for Anna Kisselgoff the circumstances of its composition.
		Copland writes enthusiastically about a cultural exchange he took part in, organized by the State Department, in which he visited provincial capitals in Latin America to talk with local musicians.
		Copland argues that symphony orchestras, striving to attract an audience, are relying too much on standard repertory and not doing enough to promote a new generation of composers.

		Copland arranged these songs for singer with either piano or orchestra (and Irving Fine arranged many of Copland's arrangements for chorus).

		Copland thought enough of it to recycle some of it into his Clarinet Concerto five years later.
		Copland surely enjoyed the vast musical resources of Hollywood, but he didn't seem to mind the non-commercial world either, which he knew well from his concert work.
		Copland was a reserved man who avoided sentimentality in his music; at the same time, he had an innocent, impish side that enjoyed the pleasure of the limelight.

		In the famous rehearsal disc that accompanied Copland's own recording of the original chamber version of Appalachian Spring, he can be heard exhorting his players not to sentimentalize the music: "...it's a little too much on the Massenet-side," he tells them.
		Copland's music is full of complex rhythms, often combining them with stratospheric violin writing.
		More than a decade later, in 1958, Copland published a new orchestration of the suite in which he returned to the chamber instrumentation used in the full-length ballet, allowing the option of a few extra strings (which I assume are used here), and this is what Naxos gives us.

		The biggest problem is that Mozart really utilised the entire range of the clarinet for the concerto, whereas Copland used essentially it was a majority, as a high piece, which works to my advantage.
		If you’re playing and 10% or 15% of the piece is in the lower range of the instrument, I don’t really have the notes, and when you start bumping notes up a fifth and doing all of these things, or going up an octave, sometimes it kind of ruins the melodic line.

		It later became part of Copland's Clarinet Concerto, certainly a more fitting place for such lovely music and likely increasing its longevity considerably.
		The dramatic high point is reached in North Star Battle, with brass and timpani doing battle in a brief, but vibrant skirmish, although the ensuing tracks maintain the tension, right down to the finale, Leaving the Village before a final flourish brings the disc to a close.
		The album follows a progression from jollity into darker territory, Copland's musical and dramatic vocabulary expanding with each entry and while the films themselves are forgotten, the music is more than worth hearing.
