Five-note March was originally written for piano (six hands), where the top part again used just five notes throughout the main section - in this case a pentatonic scale.

I have decided to arrange it for a number of popular instrumental ensembles, brass and woodwind - it would make a nice little encore piece!

Again, this arrangement is dedicated to the Norfolk Reeds Clarinet Quartet, and for whom I have added a version of the Bass Clarinet part for Alto Clarinet, as well as for the regular Bb instrument. Obviously some enforced octave transpositions make these parts less attractive than the original bass clarinet one.

N.B. In the present economic climate, a good number of smaller ensembles understandably buy just the set of parts as, in reality, these alone are all that is needed in performance. Equally, a similar number buy both the parts and the full score. To compensate for this, I intend to reduce the cost of the full score by $4, and increase the price of the lead part by $3, a differential that wasn’t available to sellers at the former SibeliusMusic.com.
