It is presented here for five clarinets. If an alto clarinet or basset horn is not available, a fourth B-flat clarinet part has also been included. The bass clarinet uses the extended low C range in the end section, but an 8va ossia is provided if an instrument with this range is not available. The arrangement can also be played as a larger clarinet ensemble or choir with the additional contra-alto and contrabass clarinet parts. Extended ranges are not necessary for the contra clarinets.
Instrumentation: B-flat clarinet 1 B-flat clarinet 2 B-flat clarinet 3 Alto clarinet/Basset Horn/B-flat clarinet 4 Bass clarinet
opt. E-flat contra-alto clarinet B-flat contrabass clarinet
