Good afternoon!  I found this arrangement in a pile of music - and am missing a few pages.  Do you know where I could find the entire Langenus duet piece?

“… flawless, exciting … we have music that unfolds comfortably, but there’s enough to arouse curiosity without scaring anyone off. It will not alienate stodgy blue-hair types, but it will still satisfy those who crave creative new music.” 

Thus did American Record Guide respond to Left at the Fork in the Road, Sean Hickey’s 2005 debut album on Naxos. Listeners can expect to have similar reactions to his first release for Delos, containing his engaging and beautifully crafted concertos. 

In his Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, the composer seeks to “… fuse my interest in neo-classical clarity and design with what I feel is the songful, heroic nature of the greatest cello concerto literature.” The work’s heart lies in its highly effective central movement: a potent and chilling evocation of the “anguish of the innocent people in war’s crossfire” – the composer’s response to the recent conflict in Iraq. 

New Music Connoisseur describes Hickey’s Concerto for Clarinet and String Orchestra as being “… packed (with) many ideas … without ever digressing from a solid thematic core. The second of the three movements was unique in effect, a restless, yet haunting recollection of life in the US heartland, while the frenzied finale was all metropolitan New York.” 

Both works get expert, inspired, and well-recorded performances from Maestro Vladimir Lande, featuring renowned cellist Dmitry Kouzov and vaunted clarinet virtuoso Alexander Fiterstein with excellent St. Petersburg Orchestras.


Sean Hickey: Cello and Clarinet Concertos - Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra: III

On my week off from band rehearsals, I thought I would mess around with GarageBand and try to record both parts of this Gustave Langenus arrangement for two clarinets of the Brahms Clarinet Sonata in f minor, op 120 No 1. This is the 3rd movement, Allegro grazioso. I have new appreciation for how difficult this layering is, how hard it is to be expressive with the other track playing through headphones. For now, Zöe Keating has nothing to worry about :)
