Missa
for
Clarinet and Orchestra
Performance note
Instrumentation:
2 flutes (also piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in Bb, 2 bassoons,
2 horns in F, 2 trumpets in C,
2 percussions: 1. timpani (5 timpani needed), Glockenspiel; 2. crotales, tom-toms, bass drum.
Solo Clarinet
strings
notation:
Accidentals
apply till the end of the bar. However, they are occasionally repeated to facilitate sight-reading.
Ornaments:
mordent:
and pralltrill:
both start on the main note (mordents down, pralltrills up, as usual). Mordents can have three of five notes,
pralltills anything from four to eight depending on the the musical context.
Appoggiaturas are played before the beat.
Z
Fast non-measured tremolo (Credo, bars 61- ).
Glissandi
The glissandi are played contiously during the indicated time (not portamento), but expression through change of speed is encouraged.
/
A small note-head at the end of the glissando-sign only shows the approximate ending pitch, it is not articulated.
Likewise, normal notes in the middle of glissando are for orientation only, they are not to be re-attacked.
Bend the pitch a half-step down
_
tenuto, play note to the full length.
.
All staccati are short notes regardless of the duration of the written note.For the clarity of reading this sign is used often as short-hand to
indicate a shortish 16th-note.
xz
A quarter-tone higher/lower than the written note. These accidentals are valid till the end of the bar, too.
o
al niente, let the sound disappear imperceptibly
l.v.
Let strings vibrate as long as possible.
clb
col legno battuto (after hitting the string, let it resonate as long as possible), also indicated as a circle around the note-head.
Credo, bars 61-70: Immediately after the first beat all players start whispering (not speaking up!) their personal credos., Wind-players do this through
their instrument (keeping the instrument in the normal playing position), string players will whisper while playing. The whispering should be relatively
loud and quick at first, then follow the diminuendo of the strings and gradually slow down and adapt the 1/8-note beat around b. 65/66. End the whispering
by fading-out not later than bar 67 .
Strings:
l.h. ad lib.
Feel free to occasionally use the left hand for a pizzicato, if it facilitates the performance.
Agnus Dei, bars 4-8: Strings (except v.1) legatissimo: use long bows, each player changing bow individually.
Clarinet solo:
Cadenzas are free, but should not be long. Variable character (according to the movements) and the length from 10 seconds to 2 minutes is recommended.
The material of the movement itself should naturally dominate, but discreet use of any elements of the perfomance situation (other pieces of the concert,
the local music tradition etc.) can be used as source of inspiration. In Credo, clearly differentiate the three "voices", esp. in the beginning using fidderent
characterization for the voices (dynamics, articulation, timbre…). In Agnus Dei, bars 58-61, a short "cadenza-like" passage is welcome, where the bars 5960 are repeated with some variation, or the passage (and repeat) are expanded, keeping in any case the voice & instrument "duet" continuous and legato.
Vibrato should be rather fast and not too wide (moving, even heart-rending) and not mechanically continuous, but conforming to the
expression of the melodic line (the vibrato line is broken occasionally just to remind of this variability).
