Another lovely setting by Percy Grainger skillfully arranged to take advantage of the homogeneity of the clarinets. It doesn't necessarily have to be played at Christmas time (it's a pretty piece all year round). As recorded by the University of Florida Clarinet Ensemble (Mitchell Estrin, conductor) on their album "Christmas Clarinets."

Instrumentation:

• 4 B-Flat Clarinets

Optional Instrumentation:
