  this day. Probably her flute concerto is the piece best known, but she wrote
  a great many fine pieces. This piece, The Water Sprites (Les Willis) was
  written for piano and published in 1903. This arrangement is set for flute,
  oboe, Bb clarinet, and bassoon by John Gibson.

"Huapango Tapatio" is an original piece by John Gibson for woodwind quintet in the style of an energetic Mexican Mariachi song. The Huapango is characterized by its shifting rhythmic drive from 6/8 time in two and then in three. This composition centers on that exciting rhythm and includes common features such as a call and answer section played by soloists and then answered by the group. The word "tapatio" refers to people in the Guadalajara area in Mexico and just happens to be the name of my favorite Mexican restaurant. The piece runs about 3 1/2 minutes. This purchase includes a score and parts: Flute, Oboe, B-flat Clarinet, F Horn, and Bassoon.

This piece was written as a submission to the International Clarinet Association's 2018 Composition Competition. Scored for 3 Bb clarinets and 1 bass clarinet, it is a four movement work lasting about 11 minutes for very advanced players. The movements are: Buzzy Delights (Honey Bees), It Isn't Easy Being a Cuckoo, Walrus Jump, and Yaguarete Surprise (Argentine Jaguar). Each movement imagines a different animal or insect living in its habitat as it gradually deteriorates. The habitat changes are depicted by gradual use of unstable scales, and the sometimes hidden ancient tune of the "Dies Irae," the Day of Wrath. Written to highlight the need for humans to be watchful of wildlife habitats because we are all in this limited world together.

Set for clarinet choir by John Gibson (piccolo, flute 1-2-3, alto, bass, contrabass)The Rob Roy Overture for orchestra was composed in 1831 by Hector Berlioz with Sir Walter Scott's Rob Roy as inspiration. Scott's book took a rather romantic view of Rob Roy MacGregor as a Scottish Robin Hood character.  Rob Roy was born in 1671 and became a folk hero and the focus of a number of movies.  Berlioz used rollicking Scottish jig figures and many parts of the piece were later re-worked into his Harold in Italy for viola and orchestra.Berlioz's overture set for flute choir requires sufficient forces of players to carry off his intentions, so I suggest this be played by a large flute choir, preferably with at least 3 on a part for the flute, 2 on alto, and 2 on bass, A single piccolo and contrabass flute would be adequate.  Of course, a smaller group could perform this, but a larger one might be more successful.  The piece is about 9 minutes long.

Four Joyous Noels from 18th Century France by Michel Richard de Lalande (1657-1726), edited and set for flexible trio by John Gibson. These may be performed using flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, or violin on part 1; flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, or violin on part 2; and bassoon, cello, or Bb bass clarinet on the Bass part. These trios are de Lalande's arrangements of popular Christmas Noels of the time and they were first published after his death c. 1740. The source material was found in the Bibliotheque nationale de France and is used by permission of the library for this setting. This was an interesting task, as the source was a copy of the original publication that was difficult to read and used clefs and musical notation that is not used today. Some articulations and slurs were added, although they are optional according to the performer's wishes. The marks, + in the parts were interpreted as trills, although the performer may use any common Baroque period ornamentation desired.

Clara Schumann's Trio Op. 17 originally written for violin, cello, and piano now transcribed for clarinet, cello and piano. Clara Schumann was Robert Schumann's wife and a fine pianist and composer in her own right. This is warm, beautiful music and well suited to this combination. This sheet music includes separate parts. Four movements. The piano and cello parts are as Clara Schumann wrote them while the clarinet part only required changes from the violin part to make it fit clarinet technique. The audio sample is from movements 1,2, and 4.

Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumble Bee" has been a favorite of audiences since its beginning. His musical picture of a buzzing bee gives musicians a chance to show off their chromatic scale skills. This arrangement by John Gibson let's everyone join in the chromatic fun. It is set for 3 clarinets. I listed this as medium advanced due to the tempo, but if played slower it is playable by less advanced players. It will keep your group buszzzzzy!
