Product Description

____________________________

If you have ever had the joy to perform Gustav Holsts FIRST SUITE IN E-FLAT FOR MILITARY BAND, you are aware that the second movement uses two E-flat clarinets on a very prominent line that cannot be omitted. But not many bands use E-flat clarinet anymore much less likely two players. Holst skillfully wrote the FIRST SUITE so it could be performed with as few as 18 players. But for some reason, publishers have never cross-cued the E-flat Clarinet parts in a suitable manner . . . until now. Here is the missing part!

With very little difficulty, the critical part for the two E-flat clarinets can be played by two flute players. It sounds just as good, if not better. And none of the flute part has to be omitted. Listen to the sound excerpt and decide for yourself. The recording is my college band using 2 flutes instead of the 2 E-flat clarinets. This special part works with all Holst editions on the market (original version, Fennell edition, Matthews edition, etc.).

This two-page update replaces the entire 2nd movement flute/piccolo part - no "switching" from the original part to the cued Eb clarinet part. It contains all of the original line, but adds in the E-flat clarinet notes. (I suggest leaving your piccolo player on the original part and have two flute players play this adapted part.)
