Contents:

  • Thema Russo (Tchaikovsky)

  • A Rather Susceptible Chancellor (Sullivan)
  • Yell Yell (Trad)

The download includes three PDF files:

  • Scores (transposing) and parts for each tune
  • Concert pitch scores for the complete set
  • Useful extras – cover sheet, contents list, information on the pieces, Bass Clarinet alternatives to Part 5: Bassoon

From these, you can choose what to print out, depending on your particular circumstances.  Do keep back-ups of all three files for reference/future use – who knows, your bassoonist might break an arm two days before your concert, leaving you to summon up a bass clarinet player to fill in!
