Tricolor Capers (1980) - Eric Mandat

Known as the forefather of contemporary clarinet, Eric Mandat has had a profound influence on the way an entire generation of clarinetists approaches playing their instrument. Mandat discovers unexplored soundscapes through a unique combination of virtuosity and use of multiphonics that create highly personal and expressive compositions loaded with musical meaning. As a composer, Mandat’s work focuses primarily on solo and chamber pieces for clarinet, exploring the inner galaxies of multiphonics, microtones, and subtle timbre transformations. The Clarinet (ICA) finds that his “process at writing and playing is bound to leave any listener in awe… one is constantly challenged and surprised by gorgeous tone color changes, exciting rhythmic action, and 21st century clarinetistry”. “I composed Tricolor Capers while I was completing my Master’s degree at the Yale School of Music. Moving out of my rural upbringing in Colorado and from undergraduate school in Texas to go to Yale was a big cultural change for me. Living in the shadow of New York City in the era of disco and designer jeans, I was struck by what seemed to me at the time a very intense and unhealthy focus on materialism, and Tricolor Capers was my comment on the world around me as I saw it. Portent is an exposition of the material which is to be used in the second and third movements. Sway was a parody on the concept of being drunk on the fads of the times. Bop was my way of laughing it off. I gave the premiere of Tricolor Capers on my Master’s recital at Yale on January 22nd, 1981.” - Eric Mandat Performed at the University of South Carolina School of Music. Andrew Kevic, clarinet
