The piano music for this song is available on the jayandmolly website in both concert C and concert D. Both piano songs have full melody written almost entirely in the treble clef. If playing it solo, key obviously won't matter, but I play it with bluegrass musicians and most string and piano performers usually use the D version. If you want to play it as a solo with accompaniment, give the piano player the C score and you play the D - already transposed!
Beautiful song.

Why 'ugh'? The music is fairly priced. Don't you think composers deserve to be compensated for their work?

sure, but it would be nice to have it transposed for clarinet and i don't think he has it. i would pay a few bucks for a transposed sample. i'm not near good enough to transpose if myself.

Oooh, sorry. Guess that was as a reference to me. Humble apologies. Most of my music has been passed around the folk community, so one tends to forget that it's prolly copyrighted.
I'm duly chastised.
Okay, how does it work when you buy a sheet music, then need it transposed? Can you give it to someone else to transpose, then play it? If thats ok, and you source a set of sheet music, I'll transpose it for you.
I find it hard to get good clarinet music, for a single clarinet, that has the full tune, isn't an secondary instrument to a piano. (not talking classical et al, just regular standard tunes, particulary folk based, especially for playing at folk festivals, and clubs) I just tend to take whatever music I have for the flute/whistle and transpose it for clarinet.

Very technically - you can't even transpose & play it. But that's never enforced unless you try and sell the transposed piece. Sourceing and transposing would be a fine thing, I think.

I got Ashokan Farewell in great anticipation after hearing it on that great Civil War production on PBS.
I was dissapointed in that it is a perfectly idiomatic viola piece, and I could never get any satisfaction from blowing it on my clarinet.
I've decided to leave it to the strings.
They, however, insist on stealing our Brahms trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano by transcribing the clarinet part for a fiddle.
SIGH

I realized that this is a very old post, but thought I'd add an update. The violin with piano/guitar accompaniment music is now available for sale at http://www.onlinesheetmusic.com/. The piano part is electronically transposable. I printed the violin part in D and the piano part in C. It worked out well with minor adaptations and was well received by the audience. I left out some of the grace notes and taceted an interlude where piano has melody. We did it as a trio of clarinet, piano, and a string bass ad libbing the guitar part as a bass continuo. It was also pretty good with just piano and with piano and guitar. Surprisingly folksy for clarinet.

Yep, this is an old thread, but I'm an old person so I guess it's relevant. Right?
Does copyright enter into the equation if someone is wanting it just for personal use?
I just pulled up some Youtube videos, and with about 5-10 minutes of noodling around had it pretty much under my fingers well enough to play along with the video. Now, having done that, do I owe someone some sort of fee, or do I need to be fitted for orange overalls?... :-)
