Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumble Bee has been a favorite of audiences since its beginning. His musical picture of a buzzing bee gives musicians a chance to show off their chromatic scale skills. This arrangement by John Gibson let's everyone join in the chromatic fun. It is set for clarinet quartet (3 Bb clarinets and 1 bass clarinet). I listed this as advanced intermediate due to the tempo, but if played slower it is playable by less advanced players. It will keep your group buszzzzzy! 2016 Chamber Music Contest Entry.
