Rae - Southwold Sonatina for Clarinet

Description

Southwold, on the Suffolk coast, has been described as "a sleepy, slightly self-satisfied seaside town" and to James Rae it may be the most relaxing place on the planet. His "Southwold Sonatina" for Bb clarinet + piano accompaniment was commissioned by & dedicated to clarinettist Ian Haysted, who gave its premiere in 2005 at Illinois State University. The work is tonal, melodic, strongly rhythmic and "...like Southwold itself is built along traditional lines." Set for ABRSM Examination 2022 onwards Clarinet Grade 7 (List A: Off to the Nelson!)
