Charm your patrons with this intermediate arrangement for clarinet quartet of Charles Lefebvre's "Canon" from his Suite Op 57--instantly downloadable for your next performance. This arrangement is perfect for recitals, contests, competitions, graduations, weddings, Pops concerts, and background dinner music gigs. This transcription of a Romantic-era work is written for advanced high school ensembles, college groups, amateur ensembles, and professional quartets. My CQ arrangements feature equally balanced parts — all Bb's will get to play the melody, countermelody, harmony, obbligato, and technical passages.
French composer Charles Lefebvre's "Suite Opus 57" is a staple of late 19th-century French Romantic wind literature, written in 1884. The elegant "Canon" features contrapuntal imitation, clear textures, and balanced phrasing. Originally scored for a woodwind quintet (in the classic "Twenty-Two Woodwind Quintets" yellow book), I hope you enjoy this unique transcription of a French classic for clarinet quartet. Instantly download this arrangement for your next performance directly from Craig Music Publishers.
