Englishman Gavin Bryars wrote his "Three Elegies for Nine Clarinets" as a present for his long time collaborator Roger Heaton, who recorded it for an eponymous release in 1995. In the manner of Steve Reich's "Counterpoint" series (which also appears on his album), Heaton multitracks the entire piece himself, performing on nine different instruments.
