Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quintet Clarinet - Digital Download SKU: A0.486239 Composed by Maurice Ravel. Arranged by John Benoit. 20th Century,Classical,Contemporary. 43 pages. John Benoit Music #104644. Published by John Benoit Music (A0.486239). The five movements of Maurice Ravel’s Ma mére l’Oye (1910-11) were originally written as a piano duet for children. The virtuosity of the latter movements, however, would require the skills of child prodigies. The third movement – “Laideronette, impératrice des pagodes†– is evocative of the virtuosic performances of xylophone-like instruments in some Eastern musical traditions. This setting for clarinette quintet includes alternate fourth parts for clarinet in Bb, alto clarinet, and bass clarinet. Instrumentation: 4 Bb clarinets (alternate alto/bass for 4th part), bass clarinet. Duration: c. 3:30â€. Grade 4.
