This arrangement of ?Ye Banks and Braes O? Bonnie Doon? by Percy Grainger is based on his own arrangement for wind band, first published in 1936. His original setting of the work for a chorus of women?s unison voices, accompanied by men?s voices, whistlers, and harmonium or organ at will was written in 1903. It is a simple melody based on a poem by Scottish poet Robert Burns, The Banks of Doon, written in 1793. A small group of 6 players can play this arrangement effectively: 4 B-flat Clarinets, Alto Clarinet, and Bass Clarinet. However, many optional parts have been included (as Grainger would have liked!) and can supplement or replace the instruments in the core ensemble as desired, including:

E-Flat Clarinet (for Clarinet 1)

Basset Horn/Bass Clarinet 2 (for Alto Clarinet)

Contrabass Clarinet/Contralto Clarinet/String Bass (with Bass Clarinet)

Thisis an essential collection of twenty-two favourite Easter hymns arranged forclarinet choir or for virtually any combination or number of clarinets. The publicationconsists of full scores for each hymn plus parts for 1st clarinet inB flat, 2nd clarinet in B flat, 3rd clarinet in B flatand bass clarinet in B flat. The 1st clarinet and 3rdclarinets have duplicate parts for E flat clarinet and E flat alto clarinetrespectively. You could of course include alto and tenor saxophones if necessary. There?s a piano part too, so you can also use the arrangements assolos, duets or trios. All the parts are contained in a single 100-page PDFfile. They are intended either as stand-alone pieces that could be used asinterludes in an Easter service, or they could be used to accompany solo,choral or congregational singing.

Thepiano part has been written for with the early intermediate pianist in mind,though some hymns are actually quite easy.
