The new song is out. So as far as songwriting's concerned, I'm trying to create this chamber ensemble collection inspired by the frog pictured in the above video's preview image "Frog in a Thunderstorm" is the second track for the Frog Suite project. I'm thinking the next few songs could be unaccompanied solos for bass clarinet, cello, bass, & violin. I'm going for a Mozart Gran Partita/Camille Saint-Saens Carnival of the Animals sort've vibe.
Also I went through my old Op.35, the suite for Bass Clarinet & Harp. I finally revised the piece of all the beginner composer mistakes and made part scores, what I should've done very long time ago. (FYI Credit to DicoBurdova here on NG for allowing the use of his art for the cover page below).
Speaking of bass clarinet, I've been practicing and now am studying the Rubank Intermediate method. Yipee! Not a total beginner anymore! Funny, the bass clarinet suite was what inspired me to take up clarineting but it's now actually my least favorite creation of mine. In other words, I don't find myself listening to that collection over-and-over again. Perhaps in due time, I could actually start performing my own works.
Anyways, thanks for reeding (clarinet pun)
