James Madison University Ensemble Auditions - Spring 2018 Clarinet Dear JMU Clarinetists, Enclosed please find the music for Spring 2018 Ensemble Auditions. This audition will determine your placement in the JMU Bands and Orchestras. Clarinet auditions are scheduled for Sunday, January 7, at 2:30-4:30pm, in Room 1115. If you are traveling with the Marching Royal Dukes, your audition will take place on Tuesday, January 9 th , at 5:30pm. Auditions will be behind the screen, “blind.” It is essential that listening to the list of excerpts (recordings or videos of full orchestra/wind ensemble) becomes a part of your preparation. Please carefully study such details as terms, tempi, rhythms, articulations, dynamics and phrasing, in addition to practicing technical and expressive aspects. Please remember that practicing fundamentals (tone color, stability, intonation, clarity of response, scales, endurance, etc.) and applying them to excerpts is crucial for your best playing quality. If you do not own an A clarinet, play all excerpts on B-flat clarinet, even if indicated “In A.” **You DO NOT have to TRANPOSE the parts. Just play these excerpts on your B-flat clarinet.** If you own an A clarinet, please play excerpts designated for A clarinet on this instrument. List of excerpts: 1. Percy Grainger - Molly on the Shore 2. Rimsky-Korsakov – Le coq d'or Suite (“The Golden Cockerel Suite”) 3. Ravel - Bolero 4. Rossini - Semiramide Overture Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the materials. Best of luck in your preparation and audition. The ensemble directors and I are looking forward to hearing you! Sincerely, Dr. Sarunas Jankauskas Assistant Professor of Clarinet James Madison University [email protected]
