Product Description

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky is one of the most famous Russian composers. As a composer in the Romantic period, his music tends to be dramatic and emotional. He is most famous for his ballets, one of them being The Nutcracker.

Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is the third movement of the second act of The Nutcracker ballet. The ballet choreographer, Marius Petipa wanted the music to sound like water dripping from a fountain. Tchaikovsky achieved this by featuring a brand-new instrument at the time that looked like a piano but sounded like bells-the celesta.

This arrangement is for clarinet choir, with the celesta part primarily featured in the Clarinet 1, 2, 3, and 4 parts. The articulation must be light, but short to imitate the sound of the celesta. Listening is the key to achieving balance and togetherness within the whole ensemble. The celesta cadenza has been adapted for the Clarinet 1 part and may be omitted if it is too difficult.
