Jonathan Russell - ...and the Beast..., for Bass Clarinet Duo. ...and the Beast... began its life as an exercise in tuning perfect fifths, but was inspired by the overtones produced by two bass clarinets playing perfectly in tune. Each movement depicts a different action of the Beast, some ungainly yet delicate, some aggressive and terrifying. In five movements: The Beast Awakens..., ...and the Beast shall Creep..., ...and the Beast shall Dance..., ...the Beast Attacks!..., ...and the Beast shall Slumber. Published by Potenza Music.
