Work & Edition Details
Commissioned and funded by the Clarinet and Saxophone Society of Great Britain, Colchester Institute, the British Clarinet Ensemble and Charles Hine, Jumbo was given a world premiere by the BCE, conducted by Charles Hine at ClarinetFest Assisi, Italy in July 2013.
It is a stand alone piece of four minutes duration, which was also envisioned as a first movement, with two other BCE commissions from Andy Scott, Fujiko and Paquito, completing a three-movement suite.
Jumbo refers to Jumbo Water Tower, a local name for the water tower at the Balkerne Gate in Colchester (the BCE often rehearses and performs in Colchester). The tower was nicknamed "Jumbo" after the London Zoo elephant as a term of derision in 1882 by Reverend John Irvine who was annoyed that the tower dwarfed his nearby rectory at St. Mary-at-the-Walls. The piece itself gives prominence to the larger, lower register clarinets, with an emphasis on rhythmic riffs, Spanish-influenced at times, energy and drive.
