Thank you for this warm response.

I'd like to ask you the name of the Holst piece that has the two Eb Clarinet
parts in the B section or the second movement. I think it's called First
Suite in Eb, is this correct?

Where can I get a recording of this piece?

God loves you just as you are but loves you enough to not leave you like you
are!
