  • Alto Clarinet: the Endangered Species of the American Band Mark Wolbers, University of Alaska Anchorage CBDNA 2011 National Conference
    Alto Clarinet: The Endangered Species of the American Band Mark Wolbers, University of Alaska Anchorage CBDNA 2011 National Conference Introduction In regards to jokes, the alto clarinet of the band is the viola equivalent of the orchestra. Both instruments will get you handicapped parking if you put the case on the dash of your car. However, unlike the viola in the orchestra, American music educators have done their best to get the alto clarinet removed from the wind band. In this regard, they have been quite successful. In the United States, music publishers of new band works do not include parts for alto clarinet and no longer consider the instrument a part of the standard band instrumentation. American composers, also sensing their market, no longer write parts for the instrument. This of course, has had ramifications beyond publishing. Instrument manufacturers, seeing a decline in the American school band market for alto clarinets have scaled back research and development. Yamaha hasn’t revised or improved their alto clarinet design since 1988. Selmer’s design has also not fundamentally changed since the 80s. Because demand for bassethorns is the majority of the new instrument market in this range of clarinet, they seem to be a bit more up to date design-wise. In this regard, the bassethorns are perhaps a technically better instrument than the alto clarinets in this study. Bassethorns, however, are not a perfect solution either since they require the player to transpose when reading an alto clarinet part. If a band director programs a work written prior to 1980, chances are good that they may have to deal with an alto clarinet part.

PREFACE The Leblanc Bb Contrabass clarinet and the Eb Contra-alto Clarinet constitute the greatest innovation in musical instrument manufacture since the invention of the saxophone by Sax. Messrs. Georges and Leon Leblanc and their associate acoustician — engineer Charles Houvenaghel deserve the congratulations and grati­ tude of the entire musical profession and music lovers all over the world. The science and meticulous care in the fabrication of these The word “CONTRA” — as applied to musical instruments — means: instruments result in their being perfection in intonation, emission, “sounding at the lower octave of the written notes”. Accordingly, the tone quality and mechanism. Bb contrabass clarinet sounds one octave below the bass clarinet and the Eb contra-alto clarinet sounds one octave below the alto clarinet, hence: Heretofore, the clarinet choir in the band had to rely on the tuba for the reason for their respective names. its contrabass instrument. This was wrong and in flagrant violation of orchestration principles. For example, the following chord for strings: The compass of the Leblanc Eb Contra-alto is being transcribed for clarinet choir could not have its contrabass note without the contrabass clarinet. COPYRIGHT 1962 BY G. LEBLANC CORPORATION The compass of the 340 Leblanc Bb Contrabass Clarinet a heavy, stiff reed will not produce the right timbre of tone on these instruments and besides, would be extremely strenuous to play.
