Composer's Notes
Snake & Ladder is a short, fast and playful piece for solo clarinet with optional live electronic processing that explores the range of the instrument. It is comprised of winding, chromatic lines that are at first characterized by articulated jumps - up the ladders - and then interspersed with legato descending lines - slipping down. Snake & Ladder is part of a series of short works for solo instruments, collectively Game Pieces, which includes such works as Hopscotch for solo flute.
