Clarinet Quartet - 3 x Bb Clarinets and Bass ClarinetÂ
This publication is also available as a Clarinet Quintet (Clarinet Quartet as above plus Bb Soloist e.g. clarinet or trumpet).
This arrangement combines two emotionally charged pieces of music. The 19th century hymn Abide with Me, set to the tune Eventide, is often used for funerals. The 18th century bugle call The Last Post is often played to commemorate those who have lost their lives in armed conflict and is played at annual Remembrance Day services in much of the English speaking world. Here the come together in a lovely arrangement where the soloist plays the bugle call while the clarinet quartet play the hymn. In the version without soloist, clarinet 1 plays a hymn line as well as the bugle call. This work is suitable for funerals, other solemn occasions, military events and recitals.
Note that the audio and scrolling score video is of the Clarinet Quintet version. The quartet is the same arrangement but the solo part is embedded in the 1st clarinet part.
