Epitaph for Michael for Clarinet Alone by Alan Ridout. Emerson Edition, 2001, SS, 1 page. Alan Ridout (1934-1996) was a British composer and music educator. This piece was written in 1976 in memory of Michael Strang who died at the age of 14. This two minute piece is at a slow tempo (mm= 63) and marked Tenderly. While not at all difficult it will probably require at least early high school skills to perform successfully. (C2150)
