Reade, Paul - Victorian Kitchen Garden TV Theme Clarinet & Piano

"This is a remarkable set of pieces for clarinet and harp/piano. It is a suite of 5 lasting about 7-8 minutes. The opening Prelude is the longest of the collection at around two and a half minutes, give or take. Shortest only runs about 35 seconds or so. I opened my undergrad senior recital with it and it was a smash hit. I highly recommend using a harpist as the collaborative artist as the colors of clarinet and harp are absolutely magnificent. It isn't very difficult to put together, nor is it technically demanding. The demands seem to lie much more in intonation and a simply having a good ear for intervals. A solid work for high school students solo/ensemble performance or for a graduate recital. It is definetely deserving of much more attention than it receives. You won't be disappointed with this piece at all."
