In October 2001 I was privileged to be able to travel to France and participate in a rehearsal and concert with my “Interlude for Clarinet Choir” played by the Fribourg, Switzerland Clarinet Choir directed by Jean-Daniel Lugrin.
Mr. Lugrin was worried that I might want them to do certain things differently, but the played everything wonderfully. My only suggestion was to raise a dynamic level for the Eb Soprano Clarinet for several measures.
Fortunately my son, David, translated for us because my my brain couldn’t hang on to the French I had been studying for several months.
