Product Overview
While collaborating with Jeff Anderle on some virtuosic bass clarinet music, Bach’s Chaconne slipped into the conversation. More than simply assigning the notes to another instrument, I love when the acts of composing, transcribing, and arranging are blurred. Much of my favorite music is when the definition of authorship is obscured. Continuing in the tradition of great transcriptions by Arno Landmann, John Feeley, and Ferrucio Busoni, we decided I should write for the four clarinet faculty members at San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Cary Bell, Luis Baez, Jeff Anderle, and Jerome Simas premiered this Chaconne on January 28, 2019.
