Double Take for Clarinet with accompaniment by Kevin Volans. Chester Music, 2004, SB, 7 pages (2 copies in score format). For clarinet in A. The composer has written: "I always find writing for solo melody instrument the most difficult of compositional tasks. I wrote this piece as a duet for one player -- i.e. on two separate staves, with different dynamic levels, one stave being a response to the other. After I had written about half the piece, I discovered an off-the-beat ostinato which had been 'hiding' under the original material. So I repeated the opening adding the ostinato, which gives a new take on what one has heard already." Most of this piece is in 4/4 at mm=120 but there are two 7/8 bars and a section that alternates between 4/4 and 3/4. While presumably the accompaniment is to be played on the piano, I suspect it would work quite well on the marimba or vibraphone. (C2320)
