Info for The Music of David Maslanka, Vol. 2: Concerto for Clarinet & Wind Ensemble

The Ensemble’s second album release contains the work of one of the world’s most prolific wind ensemble composers, David Maslanka. The piece was commissioned by School of Music’s Associate Professor Scott A. Hagen and his wife Myroslava Hagen to compose “The Concerto for Clarinet and Wind Ensemble”.

“To hear and observe David shape and form the ensemble’s musicianship to a spiritual experience as well as a musical treat was stunning,” said Mark J. Morette, owner of Mark Custom Recording Service, Inc. “You will be thrilled to enjoy the energy, excitement, and the enthusiasm of David’s music shine in the recording.”

The dream of an idea discussed over dinner soon one evening expanded and gathered a supporting consortium of players and conductors from thirty different universities. “Laboring for the love of music” is how Maslanka stated was the underlying purpose of this world premiere performance and recording. The University of Utah Wind Ensemble alongside clarinet soloist, Myroslava Hagen delivered “amazing musical sound, the beautiful fulfillment of a shared dream.” This overall display of excellence and profound emotion has been captured in a recording for all to enjoy. The CD also includes three other notable works including “Morning Star”, “Liberation” and “On this Bright Morning”.
