Product details
Latitude 33º South is inspired by the solar latitude system. The first movement opens with a fast, loud, pulsating and rhythmic character. Rising and falling, virtuosic scalic, glissando bell-like motifs represent the position and emergence of sunspots and active latitudes that are associated with jet streams which vary throughout the solar cycle. A dream-like and atmospheric quality emerges with the clarinettist freely improvising with bird-like motifs alongside flourishes of rippling passages in the piano to depict the sun's flickering, shimmering light, and the intensity and brightness of the sun's rays.
The second movement is soft, serene and calm. The sun's warm afterglow and luminescent quality is portrayed by the clarinet's lyrical and soothing sound together with the dulcet tones of the piano.
Latitude 33º South showcases the clarinet's unique tonal colours through the use of contemporary playing techniques featuring quarter-tone trills and multiphonics in an atmospheric style.
No previous playing experience with contemporary playing techniques is required.
