Rapture for Clarinet in B-flat and Tape by Anna Clyne

Rapture for Clarinet in B-flat and Tape by Anna Clyne. Boosey & Hawkes, 2005 (fourth printing 2014), SS, 5 pages + CD. "Rapture was composed for Australian clarinetist, Eileen Mack and was premiered at Symphony Space in New York City with live visuals created by Joshue Ott. In performance, the live clarinetist is processed in real time with a combination of effects often associated with electric guitars; namely distortion and reverb [easily obtainable guitar pedals may be used]. The transformed sound of the clarinet is supported with an intense tape part that comprises vocal recordings and recordings of Mack playing sounds, which range from sustained tones to multiphonics. In a similar process to painting, these recordings were then spliced, manipulated and layered to create the music of the tape part." The music includes instructions on setting up the microphones and equipment for performance. This is an advanced work with a duration of about 7:30. (C2143)
