Instrumental Duet Clarinet,Instrumental Duet,Organ - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.533697 Composed by Carson Cooman. Contemporary,Sacred,Standards. Score and parts. 16 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #3038885. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.533697). Crucifixus (1999) for clarinet and organ is a Lenten (Passiontide) work. The work waswritten for and is dedicated to clarinetist Kenneth Grant. Grant's tremendous clarinet playingserved as the musical inspiration for this work.The work is based on the plainsong for the Saturday before Palm Sunday (Ater juste, munduste non cognovit). The plainsong material is presented throughout both in its native form butalso in many possible transformations. The piece focuses on the crucifixion, and while notdirectly programmatic, looks musically at elements of that event, building up to the finalplacement of the cross (the formation of the cross musically at measure 56: the organ'svertical form against the clarinet's horizontal; the musical cross being formed from a grosstransformation of the plainsong material) and then dying away slowly to nothingness (theentombment): fading to the clarinet's and the organ's lowest D -- the basis pitch for theplainsong.It is fully intended that this work be suitable for both worship service and concert settings.The work focuses on the first half of the most important part of the Christian faith (theCrucifixion portion of the Crucifixion and Resurrection.) However, especially in worshipservice use, it is strongly recommended that the above program notes appear in the bulletin asit will give the congregation members a reference for many of the gestures and moods in thework which could otherwise seem to run contrary to a worship setting.
