Saint Paul's Suite

Named in honor of the school where Gustav Holst was Director of Music, this arresting work was originally composed for strings. Artfully transcribed for Eb clarinet, four Bb clarinets, alto clarinet and two bass clarinets, the four lively movements are presented in dance styles, from the opening Jig to the dazzling Finale that was arranged from the Fantasia on the Dargason from Holst's famous Second Suite in F for Military Band. Highly recommended!
