Brahms (Wright): Finale to Symphony No. 3, arr. for clarinet choir

Code: JP2139ISMN: 979-0-3019-0397-1The 'Finale'(movement IV) to Brahms' Symphony No. 3, in an Allegro tempo, grows quietly but energetically, from deep rumblings into effervescence. Then comes the quintessential Brahms Rondo, a typical symphonic finale form that presents several themes quickly, then switches back and forth among them. The Finale follows these developments and variations stridently, with hints of Gypsy music that filled Vienna in Brahms' day, and with brilliant moments of exuberance darkened by sobriety. Although we have become accustomed to the powerful endings found in most Brahms' symphonies, the close of this one returns to its spiritual aura. This arrangement for clarinet choir by William Wright is scored for E-flat soprano clarinet, B-flat clarinets 1-3, Alto Clarinet (or Basset Horn), Bass Clarinet, Contra Alto Clarinet or Contrabass Clarinet, and String Bass. The set includes a full score, 2 stands for B-flat Clarinets 1-3, and 1 stand for each
