Does anyone know if this piece has ever been written out for clarinet choir? I would love to perform this piece, so any info would be great! Thanks!

I don't think it's ever been arranged for one. Although I've never really seen the clarinet part in it written out.

Apparently, there's one for saxophone quartet. Should be able to be played with clarinets from that score.

There is a two-volume set of Beatles lifts on the market that contains a transcription of the original parts. (2 B-flats and a Bass so far as I know)Can't remember the publisher.

How about an interesting challenge. Find the sheet music (don't know where from - helpful, huh?) and try to arrange it yourself. I've tried this myself and it can be fun. If you find a piano arrangement, the lower parts are already done for you. If you are shy about presenting it to your clarinet friends in case they don't like it, don't admit to the arrangement. Say you 'found' it. You will probably find that they will by supprortive and criticism will be positive suggestions.

I have the big Beatles score book by Hal Leonard (expensive but fun to have). I actually used an extra bass clarinet for the bass guitar part, and I had one piano student play the piano part and one on an electronic keyboard playing the chimes part. That part is very small but it was a fun touch. Yes, Allen there are two Bb and one bass part backing up. We had fun playing this!

I like the above thots, re[dis]arrangement should be a challenge, how about a jazzy, ad-lib chorus for "When I'm 86" for me ? ! Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

I have a midi file of it that I've used when performing for older audiences. In any case, with the software mentioned previously, you can import the midi file and simply distribute the note\parts for the ensemble you want.
Should take all of an hour if you are already familiar with the software.
If you'd like my midi file, let me know at the email on my profile here. Or you can download it from the web.
Most of the Beatles' hits are on midi somewhere and most are fun to play with midi. :-)
Take care,
Robert Moody

Hey Robert,
Thanks a lot. I was gonna shoot you an e-mail offline but don't see an address for you. If you will, shoot me one with my address and we'll talk. I'm stationed here at Ft Jackson, so I'm sure we have more than just this in common. As I've stated before, I'm trying to get a Clarinet Choir started up here and that is one piece I wanna do. Thanks!
Matthew

This is funny......
I was part of the Tri State Band Festival (FL GA AL) at Florida State University early in December, and all the kids in the Tri State Bands were allowed to go to FSU's annual PRISM concert for free. One of the selections was "When I'm 64" performed by part of the clarinet studio. You can try to email one of the teachers at FSU and ask them about getting the arrangement they have for clarinet choir. Contact me through email if you need/want help.

a college came to our high school and their clarinet choir and sax quartet performed. The sax quarted played this song, and i'm not so sure the players were really outstanding but the song was really good, either that they just "got" that type of music or the arrangement was just a really good one. I bet it would be really fun on clarinet.

A guy in one of the bands I play in arranged it for clarinet quintet, four Bb and 1 bass clarinet. We played it for a wedding as a choir, two per part. It was a big hit.
