SUMMARY:World Premiere of "Fin de la Tierra: Land's End" version for Clarinet and Piano
DESCRIPTION:Fin de la Tierra: Land’s End – World Premiere of Version for Clarinet in B-flat and Piano at the University of Texas – El Paso\nReduction of the Concerto for Clarinet in B-flat With Chamber Orchestra\nDr. James Logan – Clarinet (part of commissioning consortium for this work)\nDr. Dominic Dousa – Piano & Assistant Department Chair \nAt the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula\, in the state of Baja California Sur in Mexico is the famous “El Arco” (the Arch). The granite rock formations not only mark the most southwestern point of Baja\, California\, but also serve as a separation between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) known as “Fin de la Tierra” or Land’s End. A study in contrast\, this area from El Arco and continuing around the eastern side of Baja into Cabo Pulmo National Park encompasses what Jacques Cousteau once called “the world’s aquarium”. \nIn this 18-minute concerto for Clarinet in B-flat and Piano\, the diverse ecosystem of this area is explored. The clarinet soloist serves as a guide\, taking us on a journey through this UNESCO World Heritage site to observe the beauty and diversity of the landscape\, the water\, the animals that live in and around it\, and their symbiotic relationship that requires a delicate balance of conservation and exploration. The piano and the clarinet soloist provide that symbiotic relationship as the ensemble becomes the water\, the rock sentries at Land’s End\, and the many colors of the sea\, underwater life\, and wind and waves that make up the beauty of this seascape. \n\n\n\n  \n \nSeahorse \n\n\n  \n \nGoatfish \n\n\n  \n \nTrumpetfish \n\n\n  \n \nLong-Spine Porcupinefish \n\n\n\n\n\nThe clarinet gives us a view from above and below the water\, sometimes with a bird’s eye view of the rock formations\, then dipping below the surface of the Sea to follow the many colorful fish that make this area their home. Some that appear in this work include Sea Horses\, a school of Goat Fish\, Trumpetfish\, and Long-Spined Porcupinefish.  A special part of this concerto is a solo by the clarinet as it tells the story of the Munk’s Devil Ray\, or Mobula Ray. Tens of thousands of these rays gather here in April-June\, breaching the water like popcorn and making a spectacular show unique to this area. This solo will be expanded beyond the concerto version to become a stand-alone solo for Clarinet. \n \nMobula Rays \n\nBeyond the exploration of this beautiful area through the colors of the clarinet and piano\, this work hopes to bring attention to the importance of conservation of such places in the world that we all may continue to enjoy and protect these areas for generations to come. \nThis is a single-movement work with sections: \n\nWhere the Pacific Ocean Meets the Sea of Cortez\nRock Sentries\nThe World’s Aquarium
