Grand Canyon is rental..........if Daphnis and Chloe (available) will work
for the audition, many orchestras will choose not to place a rental work
on the audition list. Wish it was that way for bass clarinet.....but the
Grand Canyon is always asked for......not only On the Trail, but the other
movements as well......and parts that are not in the excerpt book by
Roncorp/Drapkin!
