About this arrangement

Clarinet solo SKU: A7.ALEA1174 Composed by Jorge Hoyos. Classical. Score and parts. Alea Publishing #ALEA1174. Published by Alea Publishing (A7.ALEA1174). Composed in 2015, the pieces were conceived as an exercise of style, they work both ways, individually and as a group. The first piece A duras penas is a search for redemption and meaning, a sort of elegy. The second piece Meditacion explores extended techniques, and its arc-shaped contour suggests a journey to a higher state and back. Pieza geometrica manages to balance harmony and melody in a Bach-like figuration. The last piece Esto es una fiesta portraits moments of a genuine Latin-American celebration.
