Program Notes: The Double Concerto for Clarinet, Cello, and Orchestra is an early work. It was completed in 1980 during the composer’s studies with Craig Shuller at the Juilliard School. The music represents some of the composer’s earliest influences, including Stravinsky, Copland, Hindemith, and Bartok and its instrumentation was undoubtedly inspired by the composer’s relationship (perhaps even rivalry) with his eldest brother Eric, a cellist, while he himself played the clarinet. | |
