This intermediate digital download arrangement of John Philip Sousa's march "Nobles of the Mystic Shrine" is arranged for clarinet quartet and is perfect for recitals, pops concerts, patriotic events, Americana programs, children's concerts or educational outreach. It is a short, engaging piece that can break up a long program and give the ears a brief hiatus from some of the heavier pieces on the program. Sousa wrote this march in 1923, a year after becoming a Shriner himself. This fraternal society is well-known for its philanthropy, particularly its support of children's hospitals. Sousa dedicated this march to all Shriners. 

This arrangement was written for most clarinet quartets, ranging from advanced high school groups to college ensembles to professional quartets. My quartet arrangements have equally balanced parts so that all Bb's will play melody, harmony, and technical passages/ obbligatos. Originally scored for a concert band, I hope you enjoy this unique setting of an American classic march for clarinets.
