WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER (1996) for bass clarinet, bari sax and wind ensemble by Michael Schelle published on 2013-12-09T15:19:55Z WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER (1996) Double Concerto for Bass Clarinet, Baritone Sax and Wind Ensemble - by Michael Schelle A consortium commission from 12 university bands in the Midwest CBDNA, WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER is a double concerto in three movements: 1. Baptism 2. Confession - (begins @ 3:38) 3. Communion - (begins @ 8:00) The brief flirtations with Tchaikovsky beginning @ c. 10:58 finds the two soloists valiantly attempting the notoriously difficult finale of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto (now scored for bass clarinet, bari sax and band), and the furious build (beginning @ c. 11:45) to the brief Rimsky-Korsakov "Scheherazde" quote is because: ... during the writing of this piece, my great, giant orange Maine Coon tiger cat, Rimsky (a.k.a. Rimsky Claws-of-Course), passed away. His death triggered a serious personal examination of all things 'life and death.'
