Can anybody send me the Clarinet 2 part to the orchestral version of Copland: Variations on a Shaker Melody?

The Clarinet 2 part for Copland’s *Variations on a Shaker Melody* is copyrighted, so it can’t be shared directly. You can access it through licensed orchestral rental libraries like Boosey & Hawkes or G. Schirmer, or check with your ensemble’s librarian for the Official Website authorized set. Many university libraries also hold study scores where you can preview the clarinet lines.

The Shaker melody (The Gift to Be Simple) variations are the last section of Appalachian Spring. Appalachian Spring (the complete ballet and the orchestral suite) is rental-only from Boosey & Hawkes. There is a standalone edition of it available for purchase at outlets that sell to schools, also published by Boosey & Hawkes. Is that what you're playing? Whether you could get a separate part, I'm not sure. At the outlet where I found it, the set costs $100. Unless you can find a vendor willing to sell a 2nd clarinet part, the far cheaper way would be, as Tamara48wells suggests, to get a copy from your orchestra's librarian.

Thanks. It seemed I would have to buy a part until the orchestra folks managed to come up with the 2nd page.

Seems like the orchestra would have to have bought the part.
