Our band, which is a high school band (some eighth graders, mostly 9-12, a=
=20
pretty good band) just recently played this piece, and I'm not sure I would=
=20
recommend it without reservation. It's almost unbearably corny, for one=20
thing, and it isn't in the least interesting for the band or other=20
accompaniment. At least, I don't think it is. I'm not sure there is a piano=
=20
version, although it would make sense if there were. I think it has a Clar.=
=20
1 and Clar 2-3 or separate parts in the arrangement I'm familiar with. It=20
shouldn't be played with more than two clarinets on each part, either,=20
because it goes rather high (altissimo G for seven bars at the end, high).=
=20
It's pretty easy for accomplished players, although our younger players=20
found it pretty difficult. Fast though. There are some fingering=20
difficulties that I had with it. Probably a month or two of rehearsals is=20
enough. That's about all I know.
