    Nine Clarinets

    We've heard about composers writing pieces for pianists and violinists, but the clarinetist-composer relationship has inspired some beautiful music throughout the ages. Mozart had Anton Stadler for whom he wrote both the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings and the Concerto for Clarinet, and now some 200 years later Gavin Bryars has clarinetist Roger Heaton, a longtime member of his ensemble. Tonight we hear Bryars's Three Elegies for Nine Clarinets with Roger Heaton peforming, along with music by Steve Reich, Lukas Ligeti and Arvo Part.

    This evening's host for Evening Music, sitting in for Terence is terrific and the choice and presentation of the music has been most wonderful. I hope she takes over the show soon.

    And no, I'm not related, affiliated with her or have any connection. And I've even missed her name. But it was immediately apparent that she has some mastery of the form.

    Thanks.
