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)

This lovely melody was made famous by Robert Burns when he used it for his poem, Ye Banks and Braes o' Bonnie Doon in 1791. The original tune is called The Caledonian Hunt's Delight. This beautiful and sympathetic arrangement for clarinet quartet is ideal for concerts, weddings, and many other types of performance.
