Ripper: Kinderszenen (Cenas Infantis) for clarinet, cello and piano

Code: JP2096
ISMN: 979-0-3019-0434-3

Part of "Brazilian Chamber Music" series published by Jeanne, Inc. Kinderszenen (Children's Scenes) was originally composed for oboe, cello and piano. The oboe part was transcribed for clarinet for this edition with the approval of the composer. The music recreates the atmosphere of Robert Schumann's homonymous work from personal and nationalistic standpoints. Kinderszenen has three movements: (1) Schumanniana is a homage to the German composer, making use of his compositional style; (2) Cantiga is based on the Brazilian folk tune "A mare encheu," traditionally sung in children's rounds; (3) Maracatu is a playful dance typical of North Brazil. It is associated with large percussive ensembles that combine and alternate binary and ternary rhythms.
