An English Hoe-Down? Well why not! Ideal for end of concert encore, with room for a few ?English? Yeeeehiiiii`s. Written for larger ensemble than normally recognized, using 3 solo Bb clarinets in addition to tutti clarinets 1, 2 and 3, and also requiring two each of alto and bass clarinets.
Very enjoyable to play, and much appreciated by audience.

Anthony Wakefield was born in Lancashire in 1942. Taking up the clarinet and piano, his studies took him to gain performing and teaching diplomas (clarinet) at the Royal College of Music and the London College of Music.
Further studies followed in composition and orchestration with Gordon Reynolds of the Chapel Royal, Hampton Court; and Leon Young of Tonbridge Parish Church and Tin Pan Alley!
His compositions have brought him awards in 1996 and 1997 from the Clarinet and Saxophone Society of Great Britain and his music will shortly be heard on forth-coming new updates of Sibelius (software) for Mac. And PC. He composed the title music for "The Battle for the Falklands" video, produced in 1982 by Granada/ITN.
As an arranger/orchestrator, his work has taken him into the recording studio and concert hall with the London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the BBC Concert and Radio Orchestras. He is also in demand as an arranger and composer for the brass band world, his works having been recorded by Brighouse and Rastrick, the Williams Fairey band and the BTM Band, S. Wales.
