Molly on the shore (Ab) - Irish Folk - Clarinet Choir - Octet - Arrangement: Thomas H. Graf

[@nataliematichuk7986]

My clarinet choir is playing this piece this year! It's so fun!!

[@hitfactory2009]

Hi Natalie, where do you play? wich part? Is it not to difficult?

[@nataliematichuk7986]

I'm playing Alto clarinet 1. The part is easy, but getting used to the instrument from the Bb clarinet is kind of tricky thus far

[@Lavender458-3]

I highly doubt any Eb clarinet wants to have to go that high plus for long periods of time you’re gonna kill them!

[@lowheadvarney158]

lol trying to play this now on my Eb and I was like oh god why is high g existing

[@finnsclarinet]

there's a section switching from the c right below altissimo to high Eb. Like what why who hurt you

[@lowheadvarney158]

I noticed in measures 180 and 184 you have the 2nd Alto going down to a low D, which no alto clarinet can go down to. Would it be better to put a rest there or have the bass clarinet cover that note/ switch notes with the part?

[@hitfactory2009]

Thanks, is changed in the score :-)

[@finnsclarinet]

I am completely unsure whether or not you could find an Eb clarinet player willing to play that high. I certainly would say no.

Why does the Eb sound like an organ 2:21

[@angelicamartacahyaningtyas9083]

Those clarinets mimic the chorus/registration in pipe organ: two clarinets play the main melody (8-foot pitch), one plays an octave higher (4-foot pitch), E-flat plays one more octave higher (2-foot pitch).

Where can I find a score for this? Is not at the link on the description
