Grainger - Sussex Mummers' Christmas Carol
Another lovely setting by Percy Grainger skillfully arranged to take advantage of the homogeneity of the clarinets. It doesn't necessarily have to be played at Christmas time (it's a pretty piece all year round).

Vaughan Williams - Rhosymedre
Another organ piece taking advantage of the homogeneity of the clarinet choir. A beautiful chorale prelude with a simple melody emerging from a gentle flowing accompaniment. Rhosymedre, sometimes known as Lovely, is the most popular of the 3 Preludes on Welsh Hymn Tunes by Vaughan Williams. This arrangement can be performed with as few as 5 people (4 Bb clarinets and a bass) but can be expanded easily.
