Ross Carey

Duration: 18' 00" Year: 2004
for solo clarinet and chamber orchestra

Instrumentation
solo clarinet in A; 1111; 1110, harpsichord (or pf), strs
Programme Note

While the piece follows in a large part a pastoral ideal, darker elements at times emerge within the musical flow. I was thinking about the less savoury aspects of our ‘clean green’ country, the hidden (and not so hidden) consequences of land clearances and modern farming practices which are not in harmony with the environment. This lends the piece an almost elegiac quality, aided by the solo clarinet’s distinctive timbre and a repeated chorale heard near the end of each movement.
