I Love Thee" first appeared in a volume of 137 songs and
hymns titled Christian Harmony, compiled by Jeremiah Ingalls
and first published in 1805. This lively hymn is now included
in many hymnals from various Christian denominations. This
arrangement for brass sextet, though only two minutes in
length, features the tune presented in three different
styles. Scored for 2 Trumpets, Horn, 2 Trombones and Tuba.
|||||| ALRYBT04|for Bassoon Trio. Newly combined in 2015,
this volume contains both of the original Christmas Medleys
(I and II), as well as A Christmas Collection, consisting of
five familiar carols cleverly arranged for holiday
performances. Contains: O Come All Ye Faithful, Good King
Wenceslas, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, The First Noel, and
Ding Dong Merrily On High. |||||| ALRYC02|This edition
includes the complete Sonatas and Partitas of J.S. Bach
arranged by Robert Wingert (with the exception of two
movements). It has been skillfully arranged for solo
clarinet, with certain movements arranged for duet, trio and
quartet, as necessary. The two movements which were omitted
are the Ciaccona of the 2nd Partita, and the Prelude of the
3rd Partita. Consulting with Baroque scholars, the works have
been edited in such a way to make them more well-suited to
the clarinet, making these perfect for performance or study.
This volume is a must have for every clarinetist!||||||
ALRYCBCP01|Giovanni Bottesini (1821-1889) was widely regarded
as the Paganini of the double bass and was one of the first
champions of the instrument. Though he composed a wide range
of music, from chamber music to operas, his legacy is his
contribution to the double bass repertoire. Due to the
similar ranges of the instruments, this repertoire is a
perfect candidate for adaptation for contra clarinets. In
this arrangement, the solo part fit so well into the range of
the clarinet, it only made sense to keep the solo part the
same for each instrument (contrabass and contralto) and to
transpose the piano part. Thus, a single solo part is
included, as well as two separate piano parts,corresponding
to the contrabass clarinet (in B-flat) and contralto clarinet
(in E-flat). This work can be played with either a contrabass
or contralto clarinet. |||||| ALRYCBCP02|Cantilena has a
song-like quality which the performer should try to convey,
while the Rigadoon is a moderately fast dance movement, both
arranged here together for contra clarinet with piano
accompaniment. In the case of this Cantilena and Rigadoon,
the solo part fit so well into the range of the clarinet, it
only made sense to keep the solo part the same for each
instrument (contrabass and contralto) and to transpose the
piano part. Thus, a single solo part is included, as well as
two separate piano parts, corresponding to the contrabass
clarinet (in B-flat) and contralto clarinet (in E-flat). This
work can be played with either a contrabass or contralto
clarinet.|||||| ALRYCBCP03|Although mostly known for his
orchestral music and Requiem, Gabriel Faure (1845 - 1924)
composed more than 70 works for voice and piano, and was once
commended by Maurice Ravel for saving French vocal music from
the dominance of the German lied. One of the most famous of
these art songs, Apres un reve (Op. 7, No. 1) is transcribed
here for solo contra clarinet and piano. In the case of this
art song, the solo part has been transposed to accommodate
the key of each solo instrument, either a contrabass clarinet
(in B-flat) or a contralto clarinet (in E-flat). This work
can be played with either a contrabass or contralto
clarinet.|||||| ALRYCBCP04|Camille Saint-Saëns (1835 - 1821)
composed The Carnival of the Animals, one of his most popular
works, in 1886. Though private performances were given during
his lifetime, the first public performance took place only a
few months following his death, in February 1922. The two
movements arranged here, The Swan and The Elephant, lend
themselves very well to the contra clarinets accompanied by
piano, also providing a humorous contrast in both title and
style. In the case of these two movements, the solo part has
been transposed to accommodate the key of each solo
instrument, either a contrabass clarinet (in B-flat) or a
contralto clarinet (in E-flat). This work can be played
witheither a contrabass or contralto clarinet. ||||||

Georges Bizet's only symphony. It was requested by Mitchell
Estrin at the University of Florida because he remembered

organ works of the 20th century, Dupre's Prelude and Fugue in

typical jig. Instrumentation: E-Flat Clarinet, 4 B-Flat
Clarinets, Alto Clarinet/Basset Horn, Bass Clarinet,
Contrabass Clarinet/Contralto/String Bass |||||| ALRYCC108|A
very ambitious piece, this is a set of variations extracted
from the original 10 composed for organ in 1922-23 (The
impossible ones were removed). This tune, also known as 'Sing
We Now of Christmas', is represented in a very unique way in
each of the variations. In fact, some of the variations don't
even have the theme present, but the listener is left with
the harmonies to fill it in. A rousing fugue and spectacular
finale end the piece! Feel free to mix and match variations

Star Spangled Banner was arranged for the Silverwood Clarinet
Choir in Syracuse, New York. In its most basic form, can be
performed as a solo, simply by using the Clarinet 1 part.
However, as more players become available, add any of the
rest of the parts to create more harmonic interest, and
perform it as a duet, trio, quartet or choir.
Instrumentation: 4 B-Flat Clarinets, Alto Clarinet/Basset

doubles the Clarinet 1 part.|||||| ALRYCC141|The March to the
Scaffold is the fourth movement of Hector Berlioz's
"Symphonie Fantastique," a programmatic work consisting of
five movements. This movement depicts the central artist
character poisoning himself and dreaming that as a result of
killed his beloved, he is being led to the scaffold and
witnessing his own execution. The timpani parts (which are
not optional), give a true sense of the march feeling. The
two timpani parts are identical to the original orchestral
version, however, a condensed part for one player is
included.|||||| ALRYCC142|Arranged for Clarinet Fusion: a San
Francisco/Bay Area clarinet choir under the direction of Dr.
Lawrence E. Anderson. This work has always been a favorite of
the arranger, however, being a fairly difficult work, it
seemed it would be easier to play if it was divided up into
10 parts, rather than one person having to play them all. A
haunting Chorale and Variations leads to a Fugue using the
same motif. For such a heavy and brooding piece in the first
two movements, the Finale is beautifully calm.

Nocturne, March), this suite is sure to be a hit with any

translates as “Hello.” The composition was created from
extended sketches Basler wrote while living in Nairobi, Kenya

famous composition of Norwegian composer Johannes Hanssen,
Valdres (Valdres-Marsj) was composed in 1904, and was
premiered by the band of the 2nd Regiment of Norway, with the

composer Pierre Leemans began composing the "March of the
Belgian Paratroopers" while serving in the army during World
Wars I. Left incomplete, he returned to it decades later
during World War II at the request of a group of
paratroopers. His most famous composition is meant to portray
a military patrol, approaching from a distance, passing by,
and then leaving. The piccolo duet, in this arrangement
emulated by two E-flat clarinets gives the march an
especially martial feeling. In case a second E-flat clarinet
player is not available, the part has been transposed for
B-flat clarinet. Additionally, the four B-flat clarinet parts
all contain divisi passages, however, notes inthe parts give
direction if only one player is playing. ||||||

around his talents as a violinist, teacher, and conductor,
his compositional output gives him status as one of the most
prolific Norwegian composers of classical music. The "Entry

ðines. Although at the turn of the 12th century he was one of
the most powerful chieftains in Iceland, because of these
words, he is most well-known today as a poet. More than 700
years later, the words were set to music by Þorkell

Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio Espagnol (Spanish Caprice) was
written in 1887, and first performed on October 31, 1887 by
