| The MUSIC of COMPOSER ARLEN CLARKE |
| ABOUT the COMPOSER Considered a refreshing addition to modern classical music, Arlen Clarke's instrumental works have struggled to identify themselves with any of the late-20th century camps of composition. Unquestionably distinguished from rival experimentalists and divided traditionalists, Clarke identifies himself with an aesthetic that is strongly tonal in practice. In his music, such diverse elements are portrayed with a commanding authority, yet they remain lyrical and pervasively dramatic. Not surprisingly, Clarke adheres to a compositional technique that portrays his traditional, classicist mentality. Arlen Clarke's music - over 250 instrumental and choral works, is for those seeking modern, yet approachable tonal music. |

REQUIEM for a SOLDIER Dedicated to the US Military Personnel Who Have Served in Defense of Freedom PREMIERE April 10, 2010 8:00 pm Barshinger Auditorium Franklin and Marshal University, Lancaster, PA |
_______________________________
Requiem for a Soldier is a thirty-minute orchestral work that is unique, compellingly lyrical
and beautiful. Composed to honor the fallen during the conflict in the Middle East, the
compositional process took on a more personal weight as the composer's son deployed
with his cavalry unit in 2008.
and beautiful. Composed to honor the fallen during the conflict in the Middle East, the
compositional process took on a more personal weight as the composer's son deployed
with his cavalry unit in 2008.
REQUIEM For a Soldier was composed for no other reason than to honor
those who have fallen in battle. No amount of artistic expression can ever
fully compensate those who stand ready to guard us from danger. But it can
cause us to pause, and to render to them our deepest gratitude for having
stood at the vanguard of freedom.
It is because they gave the full measure of their devotion to duty that they
should be remembered and honored. I feel that creating work in tribute to
that sacrifice is the very least an artist can do.
