The Clarinet Quartet: The Tavern

• Apr 11, 2011 - 03:17

This is my first Musescore project. It's only using four instruments, each of which are part of the clarinet family. I hope to compose more pieces for "The Clarinet Quartet." And also, if this tune is familiar to you, can you please tell me where it is from, because I might be copying someone else's work and not know it. If it is copied, I just added a baseline to it and some extra sections.

Sounds interesting! If I might say though, you could do a little more with the theme, as the piece is rather short. Also, are you familiar with what most clarinet quartets look like? Most clarinet quartets are composed of 3 Bb soprano clarinets and a Bb bass clarinet. Alto clarinets aren't really used a whole lot, so you should probably sub in another bass in the alto part.

Thank you for your suggestions! I am currently adding some more parts to the piece, and I will upload it as soon as possible. And I don't actually know what clarinet quartets look like, but I just named the group of four instruments "The Clarinet Quartet" because I thought it sounded cool.

I made the song longer and changed some of the rhythms. If you have any suggestions to make it better, change the rhythms, or notes (I don't think the last one is right), please feel free to tell me. Thanks!

I changed the last note. I think it sounds pretty cool, but it isn't my song, so.... It's just a suggestion.
I really like your song, though! You did a very good job on it. The only thing I want to say is in measure one, there is a sudden change in style. I would add a measure in with a fermata before the start of the main melody part. I'll add that in to see how it sounds, and post it if you want to see the idea.
