The Clarinet BBoard

RE: O! Mio Babbino Caro

Author: deebee  Date:   2000-12-28 05:16 I agree! - what a lovely piece of music - never fails to be a winner in the opera theatre, and there's no reason it shouldn't also be a winner for clarinet. A eupho + band version would "save" you in an emergency - just read the Bb treble clef part (which, for the eupho, sounds a major 9th lower - ala bass clarinet, tenor sax...) Trouble is, a good key for the eupho (say treble clef F, G or A) is probably a little too low really to "sing" on the clarinet. A better key for you might be C or D - try it: your starting note would be the C (or D) immediately above the break. (Problem no.2 - the eupho version could be scored a bit too heavily - although having one-player-per-part, or leaving some parts out, would go some way in solving this.) So, unless someone can steer you towards a clarinet version, the solution is going to be to DIY! This is not as hard as it sounds (promise!!) - post another message here if you want the rave regards, deebee a tuba version - wot: O! my beloved oom-papa? okay, I'm outta here...
