Abstract

​A clarinet and percussion duo is an underutilized chamber ensemble. This recording project focuses on repertoire that is more accessible to the performer and listener, and offers a varied selection of instruments in the percussion parts. In this project, some percussion parts feature Middle Eastern instruments. It contains three commissioned works: Poe by Andy Harnsberger, Light on the Ice by Josh Gottry for clarinet and marimba, and Quicksand by Marco Schirripa for clarinet and riq. Also included in the project are two works not well represented in recordings: Jubb Jannin by Yousif Sheronick for clarinet and bendir, and Three Pieces for Clarinet and Percussion by Eckhard Kopetzki. This paper discusses the recordings project at length. Discussion includes the recording process and microphone setup, the musical and technical challenges in recording these works, and the interpretive ideas applied to them.
