Southern Music publishes Lucien Cailliet's arrangement of the Marriage of
Figaro overture - complete with Ab clar (or 2nd Eb) and basset horn parts.
My own group has enjoyed it immensely and pulled it off w/one Eb and no
basset horn, though a little texture and color is lost. For two good lists
of clarchoir music, you can get a catalogue from June Emerson Wind Music,
Windmill Farm, Ampleforth, North Yorkshire, ENGLAND Y06 4HF (her e-mail,
JuneEmerson@-----.com, did not work for me), or visit the Website of
the Capriccio Clarinet Choir from Holland: http://users.castel.nl/~powerdiv

June Emerson's catalogue give a rough indication of the difficulty level of
the work in question (uses letters A - E). The service from there is
excellent. Best of luck.
