The download includes three PDF files:
- Score (transposing) and parts for each tune
- Concert pitch scores for complete set
- Useful extras – cover sheet, contents list, information on the pieces, bass clarinet alternatives to bassoon parts.
Depending on your circumstances, you may not choose to print out all the material – for example, if your group includes a bassoonist, you will not require the bass clarinet alternatives. However, do keep back-ups of all three folders for reference or future use!
