Simple 36 bar arrangement of this most famous Rag for tenor saxophone and piano by Duncan Reid. Grade: 2

Also available for Alto (SP827). Songs for Claire is intended to portray a life journey with all the joys and trials that may be encountered. From a personal point of view it was written in memory of my childhood best friend Claire who sadly died of cancer aged 10.
