About this arrangement

Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Percussion, Basset Clarinet SKU: BT.MUSM570365326 D - Score. Composed by Luís Tinoco. Classical. Score Only. University of York Music Press #MUSM570365326. Published by University of York Music Press (BT.MUSM570365326). English.Short Cuts  was commissioned by the Apollo Saxophone Quartet in 2003/4 and was originally scored for two sopranos, one tenor and one baritone. This new version, however, asks for a different scoring of three Bb Clarinets, one bass Clarinet, and one Percussionist (Vibraphone and Marimba).  The work’s main purpose is to play with two possible meanings for " Short Cuts ". That is, both with the idea of sharp and cutting musical gestures and the idea of taking a different, shorter, path to reach a specific destination. But, most of all, it was written thinking of the wonderful sonority and the rare qualities of the ASQ, to whom the work was dedicated.
