Jaywalking Jackalope

2012
clarinet solo
duration: 1 minute

In “Jaywalking Jackalope” I wanted to explore the fun and playful character of the clarinet. I was also inspired by Bach’s ingenious illusion of counterpoint in his cello suites, and the wide range in timbre, pitch, and dynamics of which the clarinet is capable.
