Score
Fantasia No. IV "On Freedom" : for solo clarinet / Elizabeth Younan.
Library shelf no. 788.62/YOU 3 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
This clarinet solo is titled Fantasia due to the nature of its free and improvisatory construction. The manipulation of small musical cells and their sudden juxtapositions form the modus operandi of this work. The first movement fights to get out of its skin. The second movement yearns and aches towards the unattainable. The third movement detaches itself from earth, flying, laughing, free.
This work was inspired by Kahlil Gibran's "On Freedom" in The Prophet.
