Woodwind Ensemble Clarinet,Flute - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.582198 Composed by Gustav Holst. Arranged by John Gibson. Contemporary. 39 pages. JB Linear #6367183. Published by JB Linear (A0.582198). Cheerful music by the British composer, GUSTAVE HOLST. It was written for a string orchestra, but works well for a FLUTE AND CLARINET QUARTET (2 flutes, Bb clarinet, and bass clarinet). Holst liked to throw the melody around to all the parts, so everyone gets to shine. The music is not difficult, however I would suggest advanced intermediate due to some challenging key changes. There are 3 movements (Prelude, Air, and Dance) and the sound sample has a short section of each. The entire piece runs about 7 minutes. The instrumentation is a bit different, but it would make a good ensemble contest piece for high school players.
