We offer a growing catalog of creative, artistic transcriptions and new works for bass clarinet solo & ensemble.
About the Music
J.C. Bach's Concerto in c minor, originally composed for 'cello, is remarkably effective in transcription for bass clarinet with piano accompaniment. A son of the great Baroque composer J.S. Bach, Johann Christian (1735-1782) was known as one of the most versatile and prolific composers of the early Classical period, and an important influence on Mozart.
This three movement work offers the serious student excellent challenges in range and expression, and makes a fine addition to the recital or contest repertoire. May 2017 marks the release of the 2nd Edition, with improved page turns for the soloist!
Extended range instrument required. Piano score: 20 pages; Part: 12 pages.
PDF Edition

President
Duo Alea, the father-daughter duo of Michael and Kimberly Davenport, began performing music for bass clarinet and piano in 1996. As performers searching for new repertoire and teachers working with students eager to develop as performers, it quickly became clear that there was a need for more repertoire featuring the bass clarinet. Filling this need became the mission of Alea Publishing & Recording.
Since our first publication in 1997, the Alea catalog has now grown to include over 300 titles. We pride ourselves on the accuracy and quality of our sheet music, as well as our ability to ship directly to customers around the world.
We are proud of the diversity of our catalog in terms of the inclusion of works by composers and arrangers from around the world. We are interested in continuing to expand this diversity, representing musical ideas from around the world.
Following Michael's passing in 2019, Kim has taken over solo management of Alea Publishing. In 2020, Alea established the Dolphy Prize, an annual composition award for new works for bass clarinet by black composers.
