This is a traditional English melody arranged for clarinet sextet- E-flat, B-flat 1 & 2, Alto (opt. Basset Horn substitution), Bass, E-flat Contra-alto (opt. B-flat Contrabass substitution). The alto clarinet is featured with a solo in the middle of the arrangement.
While originally written as a sextet, the piece could also be played as a clarinet choir.
The alto, bass, contra-alto, and opt. contrabass parts do not require instruments which go below low E, and the bass and contra parts stay mostly in the chalumeau register.
