Currentlybe is,th, ~ chief composer/arranger of the United States Marine Band.

The CLARINET CONCE'RTO,No.,2 in Eb Majqr, op. 74 was written for a great virtuoso during Weber's time, the Munich clarinettist Heinrick Joseph Barmann (1794-1847) whom Weber mel in 1811. Weber invited him to play one of his compositions and the two men, both impressed with each other's musicianship, soon became close friends. Within a year of their meeting, Weber had composed two concertos and a concertino for Barmann. These were taken on tour and were rapturously re,ceiv~d everywhere, though Weber privately suspected that the applause was for Bru:mann's "godlike playJpg':ratherthan for his oWn ,~lUsic. The tour became a turning point in Weber's career, and he soon·became well kn,Q,wnfor his music. . ' .'

BLUE SHADES, composed especially for Eddie Daniels &uP the Uniyeshyi9f,Waiblngton Wi~d ~ Ensemble, is the result of a long friendship between Bill Smith and Eddie Daniels.

I'.. . . . '. . . Blue Shades is in two parts, "Dark" and "Bright.n with a short repris~ of the ,"Dark" section as a copa "Dark" is the slower of the two, exploring the darker timbres of the instruments and with its ruigular melodic.li.pes is clearly in the blues tradition. "Bright." on the other hand, is much faster, with frenetic drive;'and much brigliter registrations (listen for the piccolo part). Blue Shades is an exciting marriage of musical traditions: a showpiece for the clarinet. and an exploration of new territories for the wind band.

SOLFEGGIETTO/METAMORPHOSIS . . , .~ ;: .: . "i Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach was the second son of Johann Sebastiah'aach. :Hthtudiect music with his father, and in " 1740 became harpsichordist to Frederick the Great iilBerlin and PotSdaiIi. l;Iebec@te bored withsln\ply keyboard ; . work and in 1767 moved to Hamburg to become director of music at.Ui~fi~~ ' PrAncjp~ churches there: His music is . characteristic of the 18th century in its reaction against the habits of polyphOiticWrlting whieh was irprimary focus in his father's works. He disliked counterpoint and instead concentrated on th~ ' essen¢of refinement and expression in " his keyboard music. He wrote a large number of vocal'and instrumental workS~ftftY~ey~d concertos, and several collections of keyboard sonatas. . ,. . , .e, ., ..,. . . This arrangement of Bach's Solfegietto was written by Jorge CaIandrelli. Originally a one-handed piano exercise: Solfeggietto has been artfully transcribed by Calandrelli for clarinet In addition, he has added an extra contemporary dimension, a 'metamorphosis,' to Bach's original composition that serves as a showcase for the diverse talents of Eddie Daniels.

BILL (William 0.) SMITH studied at The Juilliard School in , and later with Darius Milhaud at Mills College in Oakland for several years. While at Mills, he met student Dave Brubeck and formed an octet with him. Smith received his Master of Arts in music in 1952 and began teaching at colleges while continuing to play and write all kinds of music, including . Smith is a man of prodigious talent as composer and clarinetist. His early worA:s include Concerto for Clarinet & Combo, recorded with Shelly Mann, and Divertimento, with Red Norvo, both on Contempo. He appeared with Brubeck on The Riddle, Dave Brubeck Octet, Near Myth., and Brubeck a Ia Mode. "An apparently inexhaustible imagination and a demonstrably limitless technU}I/.~~ombine to make Smith, for me at any rate, the most important jazz soloist since Parker and Gillespie."
