Clarion
features hundreds of tracks whether your need is current Christian
hits in Contemporary style, Southern Gospel, jazz or secular,
Broadway/Pop selections. Looking for some truly unique songs.
The catalog includes over 150 “original, unpublished”
titles! We even have a series tailor-made for solo instruments.
Catalog
Click
here to view all of the
available tracks. You may then search by style, genre (function
such as Christmas or Wedding) or even the category ‘made famous
by.’
Special Helps – The catalog lists the tracks’
keys. However, if you don’t know the song or can’t compute
the range from the given key, then ‘key’ is meaningless.
So we also give you the ‘Range.’ But how high is ‘high?’
We go a step further and give you the exact “pinpoint range”
– the lowest and highest notes. Ask a musician to, just once,
help you find your ‘comfort zone’ – your lowest
and highest notes. That’s all you need to determine which
tracks work best for you. Many of our tracks are in two keys; we
then send both versions when you order trax.
Most Incredible Preview System
If
you are starting on a CD project, our clients get the best preview
system in the world, which includes: (1) All of our tracks in their
entirety, with demo voice, on I-Pod, which you can access free-of-charge,
for just a refundable deposit! (2) “The Lyrics Collection,”
which is a book containing all of the lyrics, and (3) Printed catalog.
Keep in mind that the I-Pod is also an organized library since you
can access songs alphabetically or by genre / topic such as ‘faith’
or ‘wedding.’
Recording
with Clarion Tracks
Be
aware that many – perhaps most – of the tracks you’ve
purchased in stores or elsewhere, cannot be used for recording.
However, you may record with any of our tracks. To find out how,

TRACKS
FOR INSTRUMENTALISTS
Are
you weary of performing with tracks designed for singers?
Among the fortunate spin-offs of Jerry Nelson’s experience
as a performer, conductor and writer / publisher, has been the
development of numerous arrangements for instrumentalists. These
arrangements are designed for use with available accompaniment
tracks. They range from quite easy (level 1) to very challenging
(level 5). Like the vocal accompaniment tracks, these instrumentals
are also available for recording. You’ll be glad to know
almost all of the titles are “Public Domain” (no royalties
due).
1)
What Instruments are included? Flute / Oboe / Clarinet / French
Horn / Trumpet / Trombone / Alto Sax / Tenor Sax / Violin/ Viola
/ Cello
2) The “Eagle Premiere
Series” for solo instruments is very unique. Arrangements
in this series (for all instruments except piano) have a basic
staff for levels 1,2 or 3, and an upper staff for more advanced
players (3,4,5). One can easily start out on a lower staff; then
as one progresses, he can jump up to occasionally grab phrases
on the more advanced upper staff.
3) Piano Arrangements –
Many pianists would love to perform and record with Jerry’s
arrangements and tracks. So, after 30 years of exclusive use,
they are now being made available to all pianists. Difficulty
levels are 3,4,5. Watch for upcoming arrangements more simplified,
but designed to fit the same tracks. Note the importance of your
piano being tuned to A-440 unless you have a CD player with variable
pitch.
4) Band / Orchestra –
Jerry has produced a series of Big Band jazz arrangements; you
can hear them by purchasing the “Nazz
Jazz” CD. Scored for trumpets (2 to 4), saxes (3
to 5), and trombones (2 to 4) plus rhythm section charts. In the
future Jerry will be releasing a series of full orchestrations
of favorite hymns.
