The six songs of Clara Schumann’s Op.13 convey the intense emotions portrayed in the poems that inspired 
them, and they are absolutely charming. These lieder are nicely adaptable for a solo instrument in lieu of voice, and particularly lovely when played on either alto flute or clarinet. We’ve just published parts for either alto flute or B-flat-clarinet, transcribed from the original Sechs Lieder voice lines; visit the listing pages for further details.
Jules Massenet was an eminent and prolific French composer of the Romantic period. His composition On dit! is a musical setting of the eponymous poem by Jean Roux. Massenet provided the piece with a prominent part for cello, which we have adapted for clarinet, creating a lovely and suitable new version of On dit! for clarinet, voice, and piano. We provide a score in concert pitch, as well as individual parts for either A-clarinet or Bb-clarinet transcribed from the original cello part.
We are delighted to have just published Tom Schnauber’s Not-Pooh Songs, in which the composer sets to music six children’s poems by A. A. Milne. Two editions are available from NSM, one for voice and flute and a second for voice and oboe. These pieces are highly effective, entertaining, and captivating ... players and audiences alike will adore the Not-Pooh Songs. Visit the listing page for more information, including preview pages of the scores and a link to a Not-Pooh Songs recording by Mitsi Westra and Pamela French.
Timothy J. Bowlby composed Laurels for solo flutist playing flute, alto flute, and piccolo in 2018. The work is compelling ... challenging but playable.
