"Merry-Go-Round of Life" from Howl's Moving Castle - Santiago HS Clarinet Choir

[@diminuendo7525]

the instrumentation on this is crazy like 5 Bbs is fine, 1 alto is sad but makes sense, but 1 bass clarinet and 2 contras???

[@harrisonchiangmusic]

Originally the idea was to have 2 altos, 2 basses, 1 contra-alto, 2 contrabasses but some of our members had other obligations so we only got to have the 2 contras 😔We did swap around to have 2 altos and 2 basses for some other piece though

@@harrisonchiangmusic aw yeah i get that, instrumentation when people leave can be a real mess sdjkfljk, so are the contra parts split?

[@harrisonchiangmusic]

@@diminuendo7525 for this arrangement no the contra parts are doubled but we did have another arrangement with unique contra parts. That arrangement also had 2 unique alto and bass parts and a lot of others used 2 basses
