The Clarinet Choir
A special form of Ensemble conquers the world`s concert platforms
I am pleased to present a new edition of this book, originally published in 2005, which incorporates various suggestions and developments from the past decade. During this time, numerous clarinet choirs have emerged globally, both in cultural sectors and as training ensembles. This growth highlights the clarinet choir's increasing popularity as a staple in concert life across many countries. Through my experiences performing with the Austrian Clarinet Choir, I have encountered new arrangements and original works, gaining inspiration and appreciating the ensemble's rich possibilities. The tonal range of the clarinet choir, from the E flat clarinet to the Contrabass Clarinet, is now recognized by a broader audience. My lectures on the subject in Europe, the USA, Latin and South America, and South Africa have revealed a growing interest in the genre. However, I noticed a lack of literature on the topic, which motivated me to translate the book into English and Spanish and to include extensive new information and research.
