Anna: When I was in high school, the band played The Happy Farmer by Schubert (I believe). That was a neat piece with a lot of clarinet solos.

When I was in high school 25 years ago, we played a piece called "A Northern Legend" that had a relatively easy but pretty clarinet solo. I think it was composed by Alfred Reed.

Aegean Festival, awesome solo
Blue Shades - ticheli
Second and First Suite in Eb and F - Holst 2nd Movt, gorgeous solo
Fifth Suite for Band, Mvt. 5, Hora - Alfred Reed
cool Klezmer solo part
Yiddish Dances - Awesome solo for Eb clarinet

There was one other piece we played in our community band which I can't seem to find. It was a Canadian Folk Song Suite, with a great clarinet solo to a piece called She Sings Like a Swallow. Sorry I don't have the details.
