abstract: As clarinet students progress in their studies, there comes a point at which many are assigned to perform contemporary repertoire that is either overplayed due to accessibility and use in pedagogy, or includes difficult extended techniques like microtones, multiphonics, and more. This project identifies a “gap” in unaccompanied clarinet repertoire and seeks to expand this repertoire by outlining a program of study featuring five newly commissioned unaccompanied clarinet solos through which students can learn both traditional and untraditional techniques. Each of the first four works focus on one aspect of clarinet technique—musicality, the altissimo register, microtones, and multiphonics, respectively—and the final work is a culmination of all these techniques. Included in this document is biographical information for each composer, program notes, a brief description, and a performance guide for each piece. Additionally, each work was recorded by the author and included with this document. / Dissertation/Thesis / Performer: Olivia Meadows, Composer: Zachary Bush / Performer: Olivia Meadows, Composer: Josh Gottry / Performer: Olivia Meadows, Composer: Kurt Mehlenbacher / Performer: Olivia Meadows, Composer: Spencer Brand / Performer: Olivia Meadows, Composer: Eric P.
