Penultimate Chamber Music Work of the Day, Installment 42: "Variant on "'Kojo no tsuki'" for Clarinet in B-flat and Piano (2011)

I composed "Variant on "'Kojo no tsuki'" for a 2011 call for scores by Thomas Piercy, clarinet and Claudine Hickman, piano, presented by Vox Novus Composer's Voice Fifteen Minutes of Fame Series. I selected the Japanese melody "Kojo no tsuki" (Moon over the Ruined Castle) by Rentaro Taki (1879–1903) because the inspiration for it—the castle ruins—reminded me 2011 earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan. The right hand of the piano part and the clarinet line feature melodic fragments of the tune, while the left hand of the piano part contains the entire melody as a cantus firmus.
