Subj: Concert Band - Favorite Clarinet Parts
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 1998 14:23:17 -0500

Last night in the Community College Band (mostly community, hardly any
college) the clarinetists were complaining about playing yet another piece
with transcribed violin parts.

The conductor, a trombone player, admitted that he tends to pick out things
he likes, mostly with great brass parts. So he said, "What do you want to
play?"

So what do you think. What pieces for concert band have especially
enjoyable clarinet parts?

One of my own favorites is Suite of Old American Dances, but we played that
last year.
