Don Giovanni Overture Clarinet Octet

Thorne's special skill is in distilling full orchestral works into ensembles of like instruments. For the stirring overture to Mozart's Don Giovanni, she seperates the layers into different clarinet voices, creating an octet which capably reflects the original. Scored for four Bb clarinets, two Alto Clarinets, and two Bass Clarinets, the first Bb clarinet can double as an Eb clarinet, and the first alto clarinet can double as a fifth Bb clarinet. For a well-coordinated ensemble of advanced clarinetists.
