Keith Terrett's ''Fanfare & Soliliquoy'' for Soprillo Saxophone & Piano performed by Nigel Wood.

A recording of Keith Terrett's ''Fanfare & Soliliquoy'' performed by Nigel Wood on the Soprillo Saxophone. The work is published by Saxtet Publications, and is available for Bb Soprillo & Piano, Saxophone & Piano or Bb Clarinet & Piano. Originally written for Soprillo saxophone (as played by Nigel Wood on his CD Soprillogy). This is a bright and imaginative fanfare, with a soft centred soliloquy. An ideal opening to a recital. Bass Clarinet version: Fanfare & Soliloquy is an outstanding choice for a recital or contest piece for an intermediate-level student of the bass clarinet. The rousing Fanfare appears both at the beginning and end of the work, surrounding the lovely Soliloquy. While quite dramatic and featuring a few sections of technical challenge for the soloist, the work is also quite short and accessible - and a clear audience-pleaser! The work does require an extended range instrument for a few dramatic uses of the low C, but otherwise does not place many demands on the soloist's range, never venturing into notes above the treble staff. A skilled accompanist would be most helpful given the mixed meters and frequent tempo changes; however, the work would also be a manageable challenge for a young pianist working on his or her accompanying skills! Overall, the piece helps to fill an important void for the bass clarinet repertoire - that of new, original works for the instrument which are accessible for musician and audience alike.
