Shadows from Flames for Clarinet Solo and Bass Clarinet Quartet by Eric P. Mandat. Cirrus Music, 2010, includes score and parts. This is for solo clarinet and four bass clarinets. This work was inspired by the bass clarinet quartet Edmund Welles, which plays with a heavy metal-inspred aesthetic. It is in five movements, Intensity (I.), Cauldron (III.) and Assault (V.) are loud and unrelenting, while Longing (II.) is very introspective and Oracle (IV.) possesses a quiet mystery and awe. There is some multiphonics and a few fractional tones in the solo clarinet part with fingerings given. Much of the fourth clarinet part is in the extended range but I found only one note in each of the second and third parts. There is quite a bit of altissimo for the first and second bass clarinets, less so for the third and none for the fourth. (C1772)
