This work plays out two different contrasts: the dark low register against the tender light register and the stark rhythmic quintuple against a slow quint motive. An evocation of archetypal, ritual-like dancing. The rhythm of Dansiare is based on two contrasting gestures:- one, aggressive continuous movement – two, lyrical, slower movement in the divisive rhythm of triplets and quintuplets. Originally written for violin, these pieces have been re-edited to give new exposure to these beautiful romantic and contrasting solos, making a glorious addition to the clarinet repertoire as recital, exam or concert pieces.

Originally written for cello, this lyrical Romantic work has been arranged for bass clarinet and piano by Marilyn Strevens.
