For Clarinet Quintet
🎄Delight your listeners with this intermediate arrangement for clarinet quintet of Albert Hague's beautiful and lush song "Welcome, Christmas" (Fah who foraze) from the animated holiday TV special Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas--instantly downloadable for your next holiday performance. This charming arrangement is perfect for holiday parties, events, recitals, and caroling gigs, and brings back fond childhood memories of hearing the words “Fah who foraze” as the made-up language of Whoville, a fictional town where the residents gather on the town square annually to sing as they celebrate the spirit of Christmas.
🎄This charming arrangement was written for most ensembles, ranging from high school groups to college ensembles to amateur groups and professional quintets. This arrangement is scored for Eb, two Bbs, Alto, and Bass clarinet. I have included alternate Bb clarinet parts in lieu of a missing Eb or Alto clarinet, or if you would rather use four Bbs and bass. Originally scored for studio orchestra, your audiences will be thrilled to hear this unique setting for clarinets of this iconic American holiday classic.
