“Peregrine Variations, Sinfonia Concertante for Bb Clarinet and Orchestra” was completed in October, 2021 in Fairview, TX. The work is in one movement. Performance time is about 16 ¾ minutes.
Creative Spirit Online: "Subtitled Sinfonia Concertante, this is a stunning, challenging new major work for clarinet and orchestra, by Dallas-based composer Robert John Brooks.
"Soundcloud listeners to the demo recording have characterized it as 'flying, gliding, hovering, grasping, plummeting: a colorful life of a raptorial bird; the harmonies are warm in spite of dissonances, transitions are liquid, vivid.'”
Printed and electronic copies of the score and parts are available for your viewing or purchase from www.CreativeSpiritOnline.com.
