Many thanks Darrin. I hope your quartet enjoys the arrangement. RP

Nice composition. How are you getting the recordings together for these Richard? Is it you multitracked or did you get an ensemble in? Fine playing either way.
Hi Richard... Yes, I will email reviews soon... our intended lineup is/ can be , alto, bass...3Bb, Eb, bass.... Eb, 2 Bb, alto, bass, ... we can even do 2 basses or any combination of mentioned.... have C clarinet... have Bb basset clarinet too!.... depending on what gig, we can do 4, 5 or even 6 clarinets... We anticipate getting a contralto sometime in future
I feel like this is from a childhood movie I watched when I was little, anyone have any ideas on what animated movie it could be?
2:10 The citations (Mozart Clarinet Concerto K.622) are great
I thought clarinet players might enjoy that. RP
Also, at 2:01, there's a citation to "Sing Sing Sing" by Benny Goodman, classy
Both citations (Mozart & Goodman) are wonderful.
I wanna play it!
Hi Minty, the sheet music is available from www.teacherontap.com if you want to play it. RP
Teacherontap Woodwind thanks!
I play bass clarinet so baritone saxes are my friends,also thos is very impressive
Thank you Derrick. I am glad you liked it. RP
This is so cool any chance of easier version as it will take another lifetime to get up to speed for this one
Hi Mary,Thank you.
I am glad you like it. I cannot see I will have the time to create an easier version for a while - things pretty busy here.There are a lot of clarinet ensemble pieces on our site (www.teacherontap.com) for all levels. You may find something useful there. All the best, Ricard P.
Do you know if here in Houston, Texas we could play this for Solo & Ensemble? (High School)
HI SG,
I am not sure as I live in Australia and am not sure of the US rules. Maybe ask your teacher. I cannot see why they would not allow you. You are sure to win. All the best, Richard P.

2:02 sing sing sing by benny goodman
Close. Woody Herman "Golden Wedding".
Sing, Sing, Sing was the first thing that popped into my mind when I heard that part
Hi Richard... any chance of arranging Blue Skies for 5 clarinets?
Hi Roger. What was your intended line up ? I can have a look but it will be a while before I can get the time this time of year.
I have only a low Eb bass clarinet. How can I find arrangements for my "shorty" bass?
Hi, I had the same years ago. My suggestion would be simply to put those few notes that go out of the range up the octave. I yhink that would be the easiest option.
All the best,Richard P.
incantations?

I am sure that you are. Glad you enjoyed it. RP

What grade level would this be?
Hi Joshua, It depends on which country and what their comparative standards are. I would put it in a reasonably advanced leve l- maybe Level 7 on our standard - Advanced Level. I hope that helps a little. Richard P.

Hi Thom. It is on the site. Just go to www.teacherontap.com - go to online shop/ensemble/clarinet and you will see the icon listed. I hope that you enjoy the arrangement. Richard P.
@@teacherontap I've tried several times. Both the book and the download say "n/a" which usually stands for "not available." Any suggestions??
I also tried sending my email and phone number but it says "subscription not processed - we are not processing...as of April 2020." I really DO want to BUY this :)
@@ThomMorales Hi Thom.
I am sorry that you are having trouble with the site. It is getting old and is about to be replaced. The N/A refers to the piece not being available as hard copy - only as a download . Send me your email address and I will send you a pdf copy until such time as you can get the site to work for you. It sems to be ok as we are selling a number of things every day. If you go to the site - www.teacherontap.com/ to online shop/Ensemble/Clarinet there should be no problems. We have sold several copies of the arrangement in last few days so it should all be working. Sorry for the inconvenience. Richard P.
Hi Thom. I tried that email but it bounced back. maybe I coipied it wrong before I deleted it. Could you email it to me via our site and I will try again. RP
