Original arrangements for 4,5,6 clarinets

Available from Rod McDonald, mcdonaldr@-----.nz, ph +64-78385675, fax
+64-78385655, 29 Claude Street, Hamilton, New Zealand.

Arranged mostly by Dick Lawson, Kay Rogers and Ian Witten. Level is about
mid-range for published quartet arrangements. Amateur players (like us)
could do a good job with a modest amount of work.

I would prefer to swap for similar arrangements, exchanged by post.
