 Pirates of Penzance
Author: Michael Rosen

Anyone here ever play woodwinds for this show? I'm doing summer stock and I'll be reducing all the wind parts into one book. I'll have my clarinet, alto sax, flute, picc, bass clarinet and oboe. Just wondering if there is anything strange to expect. I saw that there is alto flute on Bret's board. Anyone know how important the alto flute stuff is? I'm pretty sure we're not doing the Doyle and Carte version. I also read somewhere about needing to play low eb on soprano clarinet for this show. If true can I get away with playing those sections on bass or is this a good excuse for me to finally get that Ridenour Basset Clarinet since I never picked up an A clarinet?

Thanks

Michael keep us posted. I've done Pirates 3 times, and I have only played the D'Oyly Carte version. It was written for Bb and A clarinet w/ the A going down to low E in Cl II, I don't remember if Cl I goes down that low. So it is quite possible that the Bb part could call for an Eb.

And any excuse to pick up a Bass Cl is a good one to me. ;o)
