This dynamic and fiery, advanced intermediate digital download arrangement of the 16th-century Spanish carol "Riu Riu Chiu" is arranged for a woodwind quintet with optional percussion. It is perfect for holiday events, recitals, church gigs, holiday parties, or caroling gigs. The arrangement was written for most advanced ensembles, from college to professional quintets.

I have included an alternate bass clarinet part in lieu of a missing bassoon. Although not as well-known as some American carols, it's a lively and dynamic arrangement that brings a taste of Europe to your holiday celebrations. Originally a choral music classic, I hope you enjoy this new setting for winds.
