Summary of This Score
"10 titles for clarinet quartets composed or arranged by Jacques Ballue" is part of the "Voyages vers l'orchestre" series (Discovery Cycle). This collection offers 10 pieces for clarinet quartets in C and B-flat, in a Trad & Pop spirit, featuring well-known and unifying pieces such as Molly Malone, Amazing Grace, Greensleeves, Blues en tutti, etc. The goal is clear: to immerse the musician early on in a varied repertoire, promote collective practice from the beginning of instrumental learning, and facilitate the formation of homogeneous groups... even when levels differ slightly.
Proposed by Richard Rimbert (Professor at CRR and PESMD Bordeaux, Solo Clarinet at the Orchestre National Bordeaux-Aquitaine), these pieces were designed to multiply playing situations: quartet work (clarinet in C or B-flat), use of playbacks, alternation between solo and tutti, and exploration of a more contemporary musicality (setting, listening, pulse, phrasing, and first improvisation reflexes). The collection thus proves functional, pedagogical, and practical for varying works and ensemble sizes during auditions, class projects, or a "discovery" pathway at the conservatory.
Thanks to musically compatible presentations, this score fits into a logic of progression and continuity with the upcoming "Voyages vers l'orchestre" series: "En Solo" for clarinet in C and B-flat, the piano accompaniment "Livret," and "En Tutti" for C, E-flat, and B-flat ensembles. A collection dedicated to very young clarinetists, designed to learn by playing... and to play together as early as possible.
