Publisher Desc.  Pastorale from C. Saint-Saens' "Oratorio De Noel" is the instrumental prelude for the oratorio and sets the quiet, pastoral tone for the piece. In his French-Romantic writing you can see in your mind's eye a scene with shepherds and their sheep viewing the new star in the sky. This is set for clarinet quartet (3 Bb clarinets and 1 bass clarinet) by John Gibson. Perfect for your group's Christmas season playing!
