Yellow Green

Melodic charm, bel canto sensibility, impressionist harmony la Française and jazz rhythm influences unite in this quartet for three B-flat Clarinets and Bass Clarinet. Yellow Green was premiered on July 23rd, 2013 at the TeatroMunicipal de Niterói (Rio de Janeiro) by the musicians of the Omega Quartet: Maur cio Silva, Deusiel da Cunha de Souza, Diego Abreu and Mateus Falkemback (bass clarinet).   -Approximately 9 minutes in length, the title ' YellowGreen ' is a tribute to the two colours of the Brazilian flag. The introduction gives way to a vast Fugue (marked Vivace) dipped in the colours of swing. The central Adagio floats a dreamy, timeless melody. The brief finale bringstogether the fugue's thematic material with one last recommendation for the performers: 'Feel jazz'. This invigorating work was recorded for the Chant de Linos label by its dedicatees, the Omega Quartet clarinetists.
