ASCAP WORK ID# 937541869

This intermediate digital download arrangement for clarinet quintet of John Philip Sousa's classic American march "The Washington Post" is perfect for recitals, contests, competitions, patriotic concerts, Americana events, pops concerts, or background-dinner-music gigs. 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.

This arrangement was written for professional, college, and advanced high school ensembles. I have included an alternate Bb clarinet in lieu of a missing Eb clarinet, and also an alternate Bb clarinet part in lieu of a missing alto clarinet. This classic American march, named after the venerable American newspaper, is a patriotic favorite and will invoke memories of favorite American pastimes with your audiences. Originally scored for a full concert band, your audiences will love this unique setting of this favorite Sousa march.
