Subj: Birthday music

Hello everybody.
I have been lurking for a while. My name is Tomas Andreason, and I'm an amateur
clarinetist in Tyreso, near Stockholm, Sweden.
I think this forum is a great idea.

I'm looking for some nice and witty music for 3 or (preferrably) more
clarinets to play for a much admired teacher on his birthday.
If someone knows of some funny variations on "Happy birthday to you"
for clarinet ensemble, that would be perfect.

In return, I can give you copies of 8 Happy-birthday variations for flute
trio by the late Andre Jaunet, or a suite of such variations for
string quartet (theme-Bach_style-Haydn-Mozart-Beethoven-Brahms-Dvorak-
Reger-Polka-Hollywood-Ragtime-Tango-Hungarian), arranger unknown.
(I'm giving a recording of this one as a birthday present to a friend tonight)
