Kling (arr. Johnston) - The Elephant and the Fly for Clarinet Choir -
This newly arranged edition of perennial favorite "The Elephant and the Fly" is based on the original concert band parts published in 1918. Each of the solo parts is transposed into a variety of keys, such that a variety of soloist combinations are now possible. For example, the original solo parts (Piccolo and Trombone) can be used, or it is even possible to play the piece with just clarinets, with an E-flat Clarinet and Contrabass Clarinet pair of soloists. All parts are included in the set.
