Hi, Dan,

Practically speaking, the Rabaud has been arranged for clarinet and
concert band, and is a wonderful vehicle in this format since the band
parts aren't TOO hard. I got to play it with my high school band (back
in the Dark Ages) and it went pretty well, which is saying a LOT for my
high school band!
