Interlude, 2 of 3 by Ken Lindner published on 2021-07-03T22:20:56Z The Interlude is the most challenging movement for players and listeners, as it is semi-atonal, with many dissonances and passing tones. - - - - - - - - - Here is the new revision of my 1987 piece for 5 recorders, now revised for 5 clarinets. I dedicated the piece to the memory of Jake Gidney, who was in the original recorder group, playing the tenor recorder. Such a wonderful person! It is nice to have this piece bring back fond memories of him. He was one of the people who encouraged my writing the piece. The music was written for the dedication of the new Unitarian Church building in Reno, NV in 1987. It has three movements to fit into the church service: a prelude, an interlude, (for quiet contemplation), and a postlude, for when people are leaving the service. The original players were not accomplished, so I wrote the piece to include many repeated figures. (If you could learn to play it once, you could play it again and again). The recorder is very limited in dynamic range and articulation, but in this new version for clarinets, variations in dynamics and articulation are possible, so boredom with simply the notes is reduced.
