Stamp / Barcelona Clarinet Players- Chamber Music Vol. 2 (CD)
The American composer John Stamp (b. 1954) - universally known as 'Jack' - is a familiar figure in the worlds of the symphonic wind-band movement that flourishes in US universities and of the brass band on both sides of the Atlantic. When the Barcelona Clarinet Players asked him for a new work, and then proposed this album, he had to create the repertoire from scratch. The range of moods he has generated here is surprisingly wide, from gentle night-music that caresses the ear, via jaunty fugal textures and buoyant counterpoint, to catchy dance-rhythms that set the foot tapping.
Tracklist:
- Fragments~Chrestomathy
- Love's Philosophy: Song-Cycle for Soprano and Clarinet Quartet~II. Love's Philosophy
- Concert Piece for Clarinet Quartet and Piano~I. Conversation and Dance
