Well as with any anime fan, I'm a lover of anything Studio Ghibli. This is a wonderful rendition. Next you'll need to do something from Porco Rosso haha. Josh

This is a very relaxing peice

So I'm in 7th grade and me and my friend are probably going to do this for the talent show....any tips

[@BenHarrisClarinet]

That’s so amazing! Good luck!!! For starters here is the link: musescore.com/user/20192521/scores/9891514 And as for tips for this arrangement, I think the thing that really matters for this one is being together with your group and playing in sync, - watching each other’s breathing and breathing together really helps!

[@Dabrii]

How was the talent show? :D

[@ninapalacios7046]

I’m gonna learn the first clarinet part and prove that I am not incompetent to myself. Because I always feel like I am second best. I’m gonna do it!! 🫡

[@fleurhss]

how did it go? i really want to learn it as well, but anything above high c scares me lol

[@ninapalacios7046]

So far it is easier than I thought. For high notes I practiced phantom of the opera and these were a breeze. I am going off of this on my phone so it’s kinda hard but when I stop doubting myself I can do it. I can play it! It took a few months so patience is necessary.

[@fleurhss]

@@ninapalacios7046 hmm that’s great to hear!! this will definitely motivate me to try and learn it, after eyeing it for about half a year.

[@TidalRips]

Brilliant piece definitely will link a video if i end up recording all 4 parts together

[@Conner-j9w]

I wish I could play that bass clarinet part with my bass clarinet. I am in high school but the music isn’t difficult for bass clarinet at least.

[@fluteinthehills]

Ben! I had no idea you were on here - great arrangement! Really well written :) Is that for this sem or end of this year?

[@BenHarrisClarinet]

Hiya! Yes it is for this Sem!!! :D Coming up very sooon,... not stressed at all haha XD

[@fluteinthehills]

@@BenHarrisClarinet Haha I'm sure you'll do great!! GL :) Certainly will be a fun one with this in it!

[@ivyart123]

Beautiful tone! what app or software did you use to edit the audio?

[@Cheesep_]

Musescore 4

[@oliverclarke200]

I have a question, why notate the triplets different between 2nd and 3rd part in measures 82 & 83?

[@BenHarrisClarinet]

that is a very good question.... XD

[@icklefozzie]

I think the duplet quaver (⅛ note) rests in the 2nd part are due to the duplet quaver (⅛ note) in the 3rd part (in bar/measure 83), so it all aligns correctly in the score. It makes no difference in bar/measure 82 as there is nothing shorter than a crotchet (¼ note) on beat 1. Incidentally. I'm from the UK, hence the UK and US note length names. I like the arrangement; it's very effective and sits nicely in the clarinet registers. Well done whoever arranged it.👍

[@icklefozzie]

Sorry, well done Ben. I hadn't checked who had arranged it.
