Past Consortiums
Bb Clarinet and Piano (2026 - under exclusivity until Jun, 2027)
Lead commissioner, Julianne Dumm, (commissioned while a student of Dr. Andy Hudson at Lawrence University)
Resulting composition: Interior Castle
Shifting Silence (2024)
Resulting piece - Release (Clarinet, Soprano, and Piano)
Five new contemporary clarinet compositions focusing on grief. Roddy Terrell has commissioned five composers to write five different pieces on Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s “Five Stages of Grief.” The goal of this project was to create a space to work through difficult emotions in a healthy way. He hopes that encoding these pieces in this way will help people work through the emotions rather than ignore them or repress them: grief is a universal human experience, and we should feel free to explore the emotions associated with this trying process.
While the five stages of grief are not a universally accepted process and grief is not linear, he wanted to explore these core emotions because they are relevant in some form during the grieving process. The pieces and composers are as follows:
Denial – Luke Ellard: fine all fine
Anger – Theresa Martin: Release
Bargaining – Natalie Groom: Insurmountable
Depression – Samuel Hunter: Looking Through the Closed Door
Acceptance – Jenni Brandon: Acceptance
