Lincoln (arr. Johnston) - Midnight Fire Alarm for Clarinet Choir - CC3
Harry J. Lincoln (1878–1937) was an American composer renowned for his contributions to early 20th-century popular music, particularly marches and rags. One of his most notable works is “Midnight Fire Alarm," (also sometimes referred to as “The Midnight Fire Alarm”) composed in 1900. While use of an actual fire siren throughout would be the most authentic choice, clarinet mouthpieces make a good substitute.
