Beautifully
written in a chorale
style using jazz
harmonies in three
different keys, this
arrangement’s
challenge is intonation.
The quintet also has an
opportunity to be very
expressive.
Arranged by Betton.
Ensemble. Composed 2020.

This is
arranged in rhythmic,
syncopated waltz tempo
sections, in addition to
a lush tutti section, all
using jazz harmonies. The
melody is mostly assigned
to Clarinet 1. Slight
tempo changes, a rubato
section, and a healthy
dose of dynamics make
this a challenging
piece.

Here is an
opportunity to learn how
to swing a clarinet
quintet! This features
clarinet 1, with a brief
solo in clarinet 2. The
challenges are listening
carefully to playing in
tune in a jazz setting,
and watching for all the
rhythmic interplay
between voices. This one
is definitely fun!
