Erlkönig, D. 328 for Clarinet Quartet
Franz Schubert's Erlkönig is one of his best known and most dramatic lieder. Based on a poem by J.W. von Goethe, it depicts the tale of a father and son being chased by a supernatural being, the Erlkönig (which represents death). Your ensemble will certainly be challenged by the persistence of the repeated triplet (horse galloping) figure and endurance required for this piece.
Includes Score (17 pgs.) and 4 Parts: Erlkönig (Clarinet in B-Flat), Son (Clarinet in B-Flat), Narrator (Clarinet in B-Flat), Father (Bass Clarinet in B-Flat or Clarinet in B-Flat)
