The full score and solo parts for David Maslanka’s Desert Roads for clarinet and wind ensemble are now available on custom print. Maslanka on this work: “The title Desert Roads suggests an interior journey, a time of inner searching, of not knowing, of creative incubation. I have chosen to call these four movements ‘songs’ for clarinet and wind ensemble. This connects them directly to the romantic idea of ‘songs without words’…because of my longtime and persistent use of chorale melodies, it has been suggested that I am somehow proselytizing for the Christian faith. This is not the case. My attraction to these melodies is that they are the product of countless generations of human seeking, and have about them an aura of depth and power. The word ‘book’ gives the feeling of a larger collection of material, something extensive and varied, and something that may have a story to tell.”

24 Progressive Studies for the Flute, Op. 33
By Joachim Andersen
Annotated by Charles DeLaney
Edited by Eva Amsler

Carl Fischer Music presents a new spin on a classic teaching method with this edition of Joachim Andersen’s 24 Progressive Studies for the Flute, Op. 33. While all of the original etudes are included, flute pedagogue Professor Charles DeLaney has expanded them to include notes in the upper range of the instrument, updating this book for the flute’s modern incarnation. DeLaney also lends his sharp wit to this edition, having cleverly named the etudes and also has provided helpful and humorous practice notes for each. As a special bonus, this book also features “DeLaney’s Daily Dozen,” a set of practice exercises guaranteed to improve technique and musicality. Essentially a complete method built on a proven collection of etudes, Delaney’s edition of 24 Progressive Studies for the Flute, Op. 33 is absolutely essential for serious flute students. For intermediate to advanced players.

Carl Fischer Music Editor-in-Chief and veteran composer Larry Clark has penned a beautiful quintet for winds, commissioned by the Ars Nova Quintet at James Madison University in 1991, where it was premiered. Quartal and quintal harmonies are the driving force behind this piece in three movements; each exploring a different style. “Frolic” is inspired by Stravinsky’s use of stacked fifths, “Song” is melancholy and thoughtful, and “Rondo” goes out with a bang, loosely following the rondo format and ending soundly in F major. For advanced players.
