SUMMARY:Tiago Bento Performs "Chansons de la Nature pour la Clarinette" by  Jenni Brandon
DESCRIPTION:In January 2021 Tiago Bento of Porto (Orto) Portugal performed “Chansons de la Nature pour la Clarinette“\, (movements 1. Les Oiseaux 4. Le Lièvre et la Tortue 7. Le Serpent) by  Jenni Brandon\, for the International Clarinetist Corona Competition – Classical Category. Chansons de la Nature pour la Clarinette was required repertoire for the competition. \nArtistic Directors Eva Wasserman-Margolis\, Elizabeth Crawford\, and Diana Haskell were proud to present ICCC as a true grassroots effort. The Artistic Directors stand in solidarity with our clarinet colleagues around the world. They donated their time to arrange this virtual competition. There was no registration fee for contestants and no payment for jurors and coordinators. Jurors included world-renowned artists and educators who agreed to participate \nThe International Clarinetist Corona Competition 2020 (ICCC) was conceived as a support mechanism for professional clarinetists ages 25-40\, we believed this virtual competition would provide hope to those who were financially disenfranchised when the world stopped for COVID-19. \nMore about the International Clarinetist Corona Competition from the organizers: \nInternational Clarinetist Corona Competition: \n—offers an incentive to achieve high-performance goals \n—encourages wider participation by offering prizes in several genres \n—offers tangible and intangible prizes that will further aspirations \nChansons de la Nature pour la Clarinette\, tells a story about nature as told by the clarinet’s agile voice. The French titles and basis of the pieces were inspired by the lyrical and pastoral quality of the French language and the images it invokes. The piece is also inspired by the images presented in Aesop’s fables (and Jean de la Fontain’s retelling of them); in particular\, the movement “Le Lièvre et la Tortue” tells of the slow tortoise beating the fast hare with his patience and determination. Both creatures are represented in this movement\, from the plodding of the tortoise to the quick movements of the hare. \nThe other movements also represent a variety of characters and situations from these famous fables. “Le Poisson” darts\, “Le Papillon” flutters and floats\, “L’étoile” shimmers in the night sky\, nature ‘dances’\, and “Le Serpent” is slippery and quick.  Each movement is short\, but just long enough to evoke a story and create a ‘song of nature’ for the clarinet. \n\nLes Oiseaux\nII. Le Poisson\nIII. Le Papillon\nRecording from Jenni’s CD “Songs of California: Music for Winds and Piano”\nIV. Le Lièvre et La Tortue\nV. L’Etoile\nVI. Dansez!\nVII. Le Serpent\n\nThis work appears on Jenni’s CD SONGS OF CALIFORNIA: MUSIC FOR WINDS AND PIANO it is also available on Jenni’s website at Chansons de la Nature pour la Clarinette \n \n

SUMMARY:Cora Vare Performs "Three Desert Fables" for solo oboe\, by Jenni Brandon
DESCRIPTION:Cora Vare Performed “Three Desert Fables” for solo oboe\, by Jenni Brandon\, on February 3\, 2021\, at Saint Matthews United Methodist Church in Bowie\, Maryland. The performance is available for viewing on YouTube \nThree Desert Fables for solo oboe tells the story of the unique relationship between the Joshua trees found in the Mojave Desert and the Yucca moth. The Joshua tree relies on the moth for pollination\, and the moth lays her eggs in the flowers of the Joshua tree where the larvae live off of the yucca seeds. In fact\, one cannot survive without the other\, and this relationship is much like a fable\, making this a wonderful story to tell as a solo for oboe. \nThe Joshua tree is dance-like and angular\, its branches twisting and gnarled. In contrast the moth is fluid and lyrical\, flying to the highest flowers of the Joshua tree to lay her eggs and to pollinate the white flowers of the tree. In the final section of the piece the Joshua tree and the moth dance together\, relying on each other for their survival in the harshness of the desert. \nThis piece was written in collaboration with oboists Ryan Zwahlen of the Definiens Project and Laura Medisky at the University of Wisconsin.

SUMMARY:Colored Stones\, by Jenni Brandon\, Performed by Marcus Westbrook\, at The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music
DESCRIPTION:Colored Stones\, by Jenni Brandon\, is performed by Matthew Westbrook at The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music student artist series. Matthew Westbrook’s Bassoon Performance on Friday\, February 12\, 2021 may viewed at YouTube online at the following link: \n  \nColored Stones – Jenni Brandon (b. 1977) – YouTube \n  \nColored Stones for solo bassoon tells the story of three stones: smoky quartz\, lapis lazuli\, and tiger’s eye. Some cultures and spiritual practices believe these stones have powerful qualities such as the ability to heal\, protect\, and offer spiritual guidance. The bassoon explores these beautiful stones’ unique qualities. \nSmoky Quartz – An incredibly grounding stone\, this smoky brown stone transforms and diffuses negative energy. The bassoon changes from a sense of grounding to playfulness\, exploring this balance of energy. In the end\, it always finds its way back to telling the story of the grounding quality of the stone. \nLapis Lazuli — Prized for its colors\, this deep blue stone was used by kings and queens in paintings and ceremonial robes. Believed to help foster truthful expression and communication\, it supports the immune system and brings peace. The bassoon explores the luxurious blue color\, mixing in flashes of gold found in the stone. \nTiger’s Eye – Tiger’s eye\, a golden brown to deep red stone\, is very grounding and can bring luck and ward off evil. The bassoon is sometimes “protective and seeing\,” moving quickly to remove the look of the “evil eye” and other times moving dreamily through an ancient landscape of protective energy. \nIt was an honor to be chosen as the winner of the 2014 Bassoon Chamber Music Composition Competition and to have this work premiered by Susan Nelson. \nThis work is available for purchase through Imagine Music Publishing.
