The Official Edward Gregson Web Site

Edward Gregson has completed a new work for clarinet and piano entitled 'Tributes'. Each of the five pieces, or Tributes, is dedicated to a composer known for his contribution to the clarinet repertoire: Poulenc, Finzi, Stravinsky, Messiaen, and Bartok.

In addition, the composer has dedicated each of the pieces to a clarinettist with whom he has had musical associations. Two of the pieces are to be premiered in Portugal next month by one of the dedicatees, Nicholas Cox. The complete work will be premiered next year by all five clarinettists with dates and venues to be announced. The other four clarinettists are John Bradbury, Michael Collins, Emma Johnson, and Linda Merrick.

Tributes will be published next year by Novello, part of the Music Sales Group. Enquiries about this work, and other music by Edward Gregson, should be addressed to Victoria Small at Novello.
