The Second Suite in F by Holst has relatively simple clarinet parts, at least
technically. I think it has a clarinet solo in the 2nd movement. An okay
piece. I like the First Suite in Eb by Holst more. Reed's Armenian Dances, on
the other hand, look much more formidable at the first glance. The clarinets
will have a bit of hard time with it.
