Night Music Op. 175 Bass Clarinet and Piano by Michael Kibbe. Woodwindiana, 2010, SS, 12 + 4 pages. The composer wrote, "I had no idea that my bass clarinet Sonata OP. 40 would be so popular with performers. In response, I wrote the Night Music Op. 175 which is in a single movement and quotes (in a somewhat veiled manner) other more famous nocturnes. Let the listener discover what they are!" This five section (US) grade 5 mood piece, ranges from calm to energetic in a variety of textures and rhythmic interplay with the piano. At 5 minutes in length and with its conservative/contemporary harmonies, it can add contrast to a bass clarinet recital. (C1610)
