For clarinet quartet
🎄🎄🎄Enchant your audiences with this intermediate arrangement for clarinet quartet of Irving Berlin's beautiful holiday classic "Count Your Blessings (Instead of Sheep)" from the movie White Christmas--instantly downloadable for your next performance. This arrangement is perfect for all holiday events, parties, gatherings, recitals, or caroling gigs. It was written for most ensembles, from high school groups to professional quartets. My quartet arrangements have equally balanced parts so that all Bb's will play melody, harmony, and technical passages.
🎄American songwriter, pianist, and composer Irving Berlin wrote this song in 1954 for the blockbuster holiday classic White Christmas starring Bing Crosby. The song addresses the all-too-common malady of insomnia and offers a simple solution. Nominated for an Academy Award as Best Original Song and reaching the Billboard Top Ten, this timeless and cherished classic will delight your audiences and leave them humming a charming tune. Originally scored for a studio orchestra, I hope you enjoy this unique setting for clarinets.
