Jules Massenet was an eminent and prolific French composer of the Romantic period. His composition On dit! is a musical setting of the eponymous poem by Jean Roux. Massenet provided the piece with a prominent part for cello, which we have adapted for clarinet, creating a lovely and suitable new version of On dit! for clarinet, voice, and piano. We provide a score in concert pitch, as well as individual parts for either A-clarinet or Bb-clarinet transcribed from the original cello part.
The official release date for this new AMW CD is January 14, 2022, but CDs may be purchased through NSM now. This CD is a treasure, featuring exquisite renditions of tunes by the great Duke Ellington and his circle performed by the Peter Bloom and John Funkhouser flute and piano jazz duo. This disc would make a great holiday gift; find more info on the Exuberant Ellingtonia listing page.
