Two Renaissance Sketches: (wp) E-flat Contrabass Clarinet

Though entirely original, the melodies of Two Renaissance Sketches come alive with their modal harmonies and tasteful, dance-like percussion accompaniments which are typical of the period. A stately courtly dance and a lively jig give almost everyone in the band a chance to play the melody, and can be an excellent introduction to the sounds and style of Renaissance music.
