A favorite transcription of the arranger thus far. This has to be one of the most beautiful and lush pieces in the orchestral repertoire, taken from lesser-known opera Hansel and Gretel. As recorded by the University of Florida Clarinet Ensemble (Mitchell Estrin, conductor) on their album "Christmas Clarinets."

Instrumentation:

• E-Flat Clarinet
• 4 B-Flat Clarinets
• Alto Clarinet/Basset Horn
• Bass Clarinet
• Contrabass Clarinet/Contralto/String Bass
