Dark Ceremony Op. 227 for Clarinet Choir by Michael Kibbe. Woodwindiana, 2014, SB, (includes parts and score). For E-flat clarinet, 5 B-flat clarinets, alto clarinet, 2 bass clarinets, and B-flat and/or E-flat contra clarinets. No particular programmatic story is implied in the title, rather a generalized dark feeling pervades the work through use of the lowest clarinet family members. Sufficient contrasting playful sections and technical passagework (including some mixed meter) to challenge all. Duration about 7:00. (C2486)
