Performed live at the University of North Texas in fulfillment of the Masters of Music in Clarinet Performance on Sunday March 3rd, 2024 in Voertman Concert Hall.
I. Carousel
II. Charabanc
III. Cameo
Of the piece, Ellerby writes:
“The opening Carousel takes a leaf out of the American minimalist composers' book and is energetic and resourceful throughout, conjuring up images of a fairground ride that is not too much of an intrepid adventure! The central Cameo presents and re-presents a delicate, highly legato, melisma for the soloist. A somewhat brooding central episode provides both a moment of contrast and the opportunity for the soloist to deliver some free cadenza-type material before returning to the security of the opening calm.The closing Charabanc (named for the antique automobile taken on holidays) is a freely developed rondo-style finale embracing influences from jazz and other light music forms. Listeners are encouraged to use their own imagination, as it is intended to be whatever you want it to be.”
