The Lone Ar-ranger has appeared in many versions, most to 'special order'!

There is already a version four 4 Bb Clarinets with bass clarinet, i.e. in a quintet layout.

I've just been asked whether I had an Alto Clarinet part available, and initially was simply going to fashion one from the exisitng parts, with a bit of octave transposition where appropriate.

Then I thought that, as I had produced a Clarinet Choir version od Samba..alla Turca, I would do similarly with The Lone Ar-ranger!

What I have in fact done is to keep the original 4 Bb clarinet parts and bass clarinet part intact, as a stand-alone quintet, but added not only a part for Alto Clarinet, but an additional one for Eb Clarinet. These are purely obbligato, but I have added in a couple of little extra 'frills' especially for the small Eb instrument.
Following a number of requests worldwide, I have now uploaded a special non-playing score, which lists, and identifies all the tune fragments used in The Lone Ar-ranger!
