MOODS + CD

Five moods for solo clarinet was commissioned and recorded by Roger Heaton and have been performed worldwide. The movements/moods are: Isolation, Jovialities, Anger, Loneliness, Desolation. Difficult and demanding pieces, they are for only the most advanced of performers. They use many contemporary clarinet techniques including multiphonics, wide and tight glissando and vibrato as well as quarter tone effects. Review - "The most substantial and ambitious piece in this collection is undoubtedly David Golightly's Moods (1980) for solo clarinet, written for Roger Heaton who plays this rather difficult and technically demanding piece with consummate ease and assured technique. Golightly relies on a number of modern techniques, such as quarter tones, multiphonics, glissandi, breath tones and the like without ever giving the impression of mere experiment. Quite the contrary, each mood is vividly depicted with imagination and poetical insight. Obviously, to my ears at least, this is a major addition to the repertoire." - Hubert Culot
