Sacred Music.......

This note is in response to Tara LeClair's search for church music.
Clarinet repertoire for church services can be found by calling David E.
Smith Publications 810-376-9055. Address: 4826 Shabbona Road, Deckerville,
MI 48427
This publisher features several standard church hymns with challenging
runs, cadenzas and such. Nicely embellished. Grades 1-5 Dave also
publishes for other instruments.

I can't recommend these pieces enough. Try it you'll like it.
