from the beloved TV holiday special, A Charlie Brown Christmas
For Clarinet Quintet
🎄Ring in the holiday spirit with this advanced-intermediate arrangement for clarinet quintet of Vince Guaraldi's jazzy holiday classic, "Linus and Lucy," from A Charlie Brown Christmas--instantly downloadable for your next holiday performance. This arrangement is perfect for holiday parties, events, recitals, caroling gigs, children's concerts, or educational outreach. The arrangement was written for advanced ensembles, from college groups to professional quintets. Because this arrangement is written for five voices, with five individual parts covering four clarinets, you can also use it for a clarinet choir.
🎄As the musical heart of the beloved 1965 special A Charlie Brown Christmas, its instantly recognizable, syncopated bass motif and high-energy right-hand rhythm celebrate holiday nostalgia and put a smile on your face. Originally scored for a jazz combo, I hope you enjoy this unique setting for clarinets. It captures the pure joy of the season and naturally invites your audience to revisit their happiest winter traditions. Add this holiday favorite to your clarinet quintet library. Your audiences will thank you!
