Milton Barnes’ Anerca II is an outstanding Canadian work for clarinet, bassoon, and narrator. The Inuit legend The Raven and the Children is narrated, accompanied by Klezmer music and Inuit throat-singing inflections by the clarinet and bassoon. I included this work on my DMA lecture-recital and as a chapter in my DMA thesis “Canadian Clarinet Music As Multicultural Action”
Elizabeth Mee, and I performed this work May 4th 2015 at the UBC School of Music.
