Centrifugal Force

Set in D locrian mode (with notes of the E-flat major scale), this is a dark, engaging work that plays with the word "centrifugal" - the force that acts on objects within a rotating frame of reference, directing them away from the axis. This energetic work also masterfully crafts a spinning fugue which gives each section of the ensemble a chance in the spotlight. Both clarinet parts play above the break. An excellent choice for concert or contest.
