This Mozart arrangement is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. It is perfect for recitals, weddings, graduations, special events, background dinner music gigs, and educational outreach performances. The arrangement can be played by groups ranging from advanced high school ensembles, to college groups to professional ensembles.  I always include an alternate bass clarinet part as a substitute for bassoon in my woodwind quintet arrangements. I hope you enjoy this delightful setting of a Mozart classic.

Divertimento in Bb

Woodwind Quintet

This Borodin arrangement from his opera "Prince Igor" is a perennial favorite for wind players. It is perfect for recitals, weddings, graduations, special events, background dinner music gigs, and educational outreach performances. The arrangement can be played by college groups and professional ensembles. Please note that the second flute player will double on piccolo in this arrangement. This Harmoniemusik genre is a special treat for wind players and not performed often enough. I hope you enjoy this delightful setting of Borodin's masterwork of orchestration.

Polovtsian Dances Overture

Woodwind Ensemble

Instrument Type

This new high-spirited clarinet choir arrangement of Gioacchino Rossini's Italian in Algiers Overture from his opera L'Italiani in Algieri is much loved by wind players. It is perfect for recitals, graduations, special events, and educational outreach performances. The arrangement can be played by college groups and professional ensembles. I have included alternate Bb clarinet parts in lieu of a missing Eb clarinet or Alto clarinet. I have also included a Contra Alto Clarinet part as an alternate or in addition to the Contrabass Clarinet part. 

Italian in Algiers was the first Rossini overture I ever heard or played. We performed it in my Texas All-Region Band my sophomore year in high school, and the piece blew me away. I have been a fan of it ever since. This piece taught me how to play a slowly-building crescendo (the Rossini crescendo), how to exaggerate dynamics, and how to play really, really fast. I hope you enjoy this lively setting for clarinet choir.

Clarinet Septet

This clarinet quartet arrangement of the traditional carol "Joy to the World" is perfect for holiday parties, events, recitals, or caroling gigs. It features quotes from two other traditional carols as well, "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem." It was written for most ensembles, from advanced high school groups to college ensembles to professional quartets. My clarinet quartet arrangements have equally weighted parts so that all Bbs will play melody, harmony, and technical passages.

Joy to the World

Clarinet Quartet

This clarinet quartet medley turns the traditional French carol "Patapan" into a "Patapan Fantasy," which also includes quotes from the Christmas carols "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," "Joy to the World," "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," "We Three Kings of Orient Are," and "Good King Wenceslas," representing holiday music from the Czech Republic, England, France, and the United States. It is perfect for all holiday events, gatherings, recitals, or caroling gigs. The arrangement was written for most ensembles, from advanced high school quartets to college ensembles to professional quartets. What appealed to me most about this piece was that it's pitched in a minor key, making it slightly different from most Christmas carols. Additionally, the charming lyrics are similar to "The Little Drummer Boy": "When you hear the fife and drum, dance and make the village hum." Originally scored for piano, I hope you enjoy this unique setting for clarinets, which can bring a taste of Europe to your holiday celebrations.

The arrangement challenges groups ranging from college quintets to professional ensembles.

It was written for advanced ensembles, from college groups to professional quintets.

This movement features a beautiful, mysterious opening with dotted rhythms that segues into a lively, spirited section full of dynamic contrast, a Bach-like counterpoint, and fiery technical passages. Although Mendelssohn wrote this piece when he was only 13, it already demonstrates his unique compositional style, blending Baroque and Classical influences.

Performance Tip: In this piece, remember that, although technically demanding, articulations should be light and effortless. The Allegro is all about forward motion with lots of energy.

I hope you enjoy this setting of a Mozart classic.
