Woodwind Ensemble Bass Clarinet,E-Flat Clarinet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1045425 Composed by Edvard Grieg. Arranged by Mark R Lewis. Classical,Standards. 12 pages. Mark R Lewis #650001. Published by Mark R Lewis (A0.1045425). In the Hall of the Mountain King was originally written by Edvard Grieg as incidental music (basically background music) for a scene in Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt. The truly distinctive sound has ensured that the piece has continued to be played and arranged for all sorts of groups in the almost century-and-a-half since the play was first performed. This particular arrangement by Mark R Lewis is for a Mixed Clarinet Quartet: 2 Bb clarinets, 1 alto clarinet, and 1 bass clarinet. The melody stays primarily in Clarinet 1 but does jump between the top three parts and players will need to be able to play most of the range of the instrument regardless of which part they are playing. That said, most intermediate players should be able to play this piece given they have the range and it will be a challenge for less experienced players. This arrangement also available for Bb Clarinet Quartet and the sound samples for this listing come from that arrangement. Range: A minor Clarinet 1 - 3+ octaves (B3 to D6) Clarinet 2 - 2 octaves (B3 to B5) Alto Clarinet - 2+ octaves (F#3 to A5) Bass Clarinet - 1 1/2 octaves (F#3 to D5).
