Clarinet Trio

AQUARIUS for three clarinets (A bass clarinet part is included as an alternative to the third clarinet) by Howard J. Buss showcases both the agility and the beautiful, sonorous tone of instruments. It was written during the spring of 2013 and is the second in a series of works by the composer inspired by aspects of the signs of the Zodiac. The two movements are At the Glow of Dawn (3’5”) and Ocean Blue (3’50”). Aquarius explores a variety of sonic atmospheres and moods. The sophisticated musical language coupled with soaring melodies and intriguing rhythms makes this trio an accessible concert work as well as an impressive contest piece. Learn More

2 Clarinets and Bass Clarinet

When The Mood Takes You provides a snapshot of different emotional states I sometimes find myself in. Anxiety is often fed by mixtures of fear, excitement and mystery, which are each explored throughout the movement. “Impatient” is a lighter, humorous mimicking of the hustle and bustle of everyday life and how we tend to be impatient when sometimes we are required to wait for things. The “Reflective” movement is the antithesis of this, as it is a depiction of taking a step back along with a deep breath, and looking inward for a moment to think introspectively on life.
