CLARINET CHRISTMAS MUSIC
20 Family Clarinet Carols Trad. arr. Alun Cook
for Clarinet Quartet - 3 Bb Clarinets and Bass Clarinet
holly icon

These traditional Christmas carols and songs have been arranged for Clarinet Quartet in suitable keys for carol-singing. The suggested introductions are generally short, so tht the singers do not think they are supposed to be singing too soon.

Included in the set are parts for Eb Clarinet (for Cl.1) and Alto Clarinet (for Cl.3). I would use the Eb part as an addition, rather than as a replacement for Clarinet 1.

They are also available in other combinations - Brass Quartet, Saxophone Quartet and Woodwind Quartet - but the parts are not interchangeable as the keys and harmonies have been changed to better suit each combination.

Titles are:
1. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing 11. Angels from the Realms of Glory
2. O Little Town of Bethlehem 12. In the Bleak Mid-Winter (Holst)
3. Silent Night 13. Once in Royal David's City
4. Ding Dong Merrily on High 14. While Shepherds Watched
5. Away in a Manger 15. Good King Wenceslas
6. God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen 16. Past Three O'clock
7. See Amid the Winter's Snow 17. Joy to the World
8. It Came Upon a Midnight Clear 18. Jingle Bells
9. O Come! All Ye Faithful 19. As With Gladness Men of Old
10. The First Nowell 20. We Wish You a Merry Christmas

CLARINET CHOIR
Bethlehem Ride Alun Cook
Clarinet Choir - Minimum of 6 Bbs and 1 Bass Clarinet.
Full scoring: 1 Eb, 4 Bbs, 1 Alto Cl, 2 Basses, 1 Contra Alto, 1 Contra Bass
holly icon

A spirited original Christmas carol which interpolates the words and music of "O Little Town of Bethlehem" as a countermelody.

This version for Clarinet Choir was conceived principally as a "stand-alone" instrumental, but there is no reason why it cannot be performed with a choir, either full SATB or SA, or just the Soprano line wih a junior choir. It could even be performed as an instrumental with male voices singing the ("O Little Town") countermelody. The choir versions are available under the Christmas - Carols - section of this website.

The Clarinet Choir may consist of as few as 6 Bb Clarinets and 1 Bass Clarinet, as the Bb and Alto parts are covered by special Bb parts, and the 2nd Bass Clarinet and Contra parts are optional.

Carols of Old England Trad. arr. Alun Cook
Clarinet Choir - Minimum of 6 Bbs and 1 Bass Clarinet.
Full scoring: 1 Eb, 4 Bbs, 1 Alto Cl, 2 Basses, 1 Contra Alto, 1 Contra Bass
holly icon

Many of the carols in this medley date from times well before their first publication and may come from the medieval period. Whereas we now associate Carols with Christmas, traditionally they were a popular form of song and dance devoted to a seasonal or ecclesiastical occasion, but the Church disapproved so the melodies became separated from the dance. For example the famous “Deck the Hall” was originally a Welsh carol celebrating the coming of spring and had decidedly secular words (bosums, blossums, blisses and kisses). This medley includes the Cherry Tree Carol, Ding Dong Merrily on High, The Boar's Head Carol, Past 3 O'clock, Adam Lay yBounden, Come all ye Worthy Gentlemen and the Goucestershire Wassail.

The parts are not too hard. The Eb part is covered by an extra Bb part and the Alto Clarinet part is covered by Clarinet 5. The 2nd Bass Clarinet is optional as are the contra parts. (This version revised in November 2022)

Christmas on The Downs Trad. arr. Alun Cook
Clarinet Choir - Minimum of 6 Bbs and 1 Bass Clarinet.
Full scoring: 1 Eb, 4 Bbs, 1 Alto Cl, 2 Basses, 1 Contra Alto, 1 Contra Bass
holly icon

This medley takes four traditional carols and adds a little modern Christmas spice (Re-arranged October 2023 - not compatible with previous version)

In Sussex, a county on the south coast of England, the magnificent chalk cliffs named “The Seven Sisters” provide wonderful views of any approaching ships, although on Christmas Day in the morning one might hope that the sailors were all safely tucked up in bed. The words of “I Saw Three Ships” are from the 17th Century and, as they claim to see ships sailing into Bethlehem, seeing them from the Sussex cliffs seems just as likely.

“Mummers” were seasonal plays performed by amateur actors and the Sussex Mummers' Carol has ancient origins but is now most usually heard in a gloriously rich instrumental version by Percy Grainger. The melody of “The Sussex Carol” (On Christmas Night all Christians Sing) was noted down by Ralph Vaughan Williams (a notable collector of folk-songs) in Horsham in the 1900's but its origins are thought to be from the 17th Century. “Wassailing” involves singing and most probably involves drinking copious quantities of “Cider”. The southern counties are home to cider orchards where the traditional ritual of “Wassailing” celebrated the apple harvest and the hopes for the coming year's crop. It also came to mean going from door to door singing carols. “Waes Hael” comes from the Anglo-Saxon and translates as “are you well” or “be thou hail”.

The Eb and Alto parts are covered by alternative Bb parts and contra parts are optional.

Christmas with the Merry Gentlemen? Alun Cook
Clarinet Choir - Minimum of 6 Bbs and 1 Bass Clarinet.
Full scoring: 1 Eb, 4 Bbs, 1 Alto Cl, 2 Basses, 1 Contra Alto, 1 Contra Bass
holly icon

"God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen", so why is the music so miserable? Tidings of comfort and joy about the birth of Jesus? They don't seem very pleased! Actually the medieval feel of the original make this one of my favourite carols and in this Fantasia on the theme, the Gentlemen end up a little more cheerful although they do have some stressful times along the way. The parts are not too hard although some agility is required in the Bb parts. The Eb part is covered by an extra Bb part and the Alto Clarinet part is covered by Clarinet 5. The 2nd Bass Clarinet is optional as are the contra parts.

A light hearted piece for Christmas time but can be enjoyed at any time!

The Eb and Alto Clarinet parts may be covered extra Bb parts, and the 2nd Bass and Contra parts are optional (so the core is 6 Bb Clarinets and a Bass) There is also a part for Sleigh Bells which adds a festive touch.

Ding Dong Merrily on High - Traditional arr. Alun Cook
Clarinet Choir - Minimum of 6 Bbs and 1 Bass Clarinet.
Full scoring: 1 Eb, 4 Bbs, 1 Alto Cl, 2 Basses, 1 Contra Alto, 1 Contra Bass
holly icon

The melody for this delightful carol comes from 15th century France. The words we know were added much later by the Anglican priest, George Ratcliffe Woodward, who also provided words for "Past 3 O'clock" and published several books of Carols.

It may be performed as an instrumental or with a choir. If performing with a choir, the words for Verse 1 need to be repeated for Verse 4 - Woodford only wrote 3 verses, but this arrangement has 4, or you could always write a new verse! The third verse might by be sung by men's voices. A vocal guide is provided to show what happens between verses.

The Eb part is covered by an extra Bb part and the Alto Clarinet part is covered by Clarinet 5. The 2nd Bass Clarinet is optional as are the contra parts, but any added bass is always a joy!

This arrangement may be played with or without choir. It has a Fanfare which may be played at the start of the piece or before the final verse, in which case use the last 2 bars of verse 1 as an introduction.

If playing with a choir, Verses 1 and 2 may be sung in traditional (Mendelssohn's) four part harmony. The harmonies will fit even though the instrumental parts are developed. The final verse should be sung in unison with the optional descant part.

The Clarinet Choir may consist of as few as 6 Bb Clarinets and 1 Bass Clarinet as the Eb and Alto parts are covered by special Bb parts, and the 2nd Bass and Contra parts are optional.

The Huron Carol has one of the most beautiful and simple melodies I know. The resulting arrangement has a slightly "rocky" feel and is not an accompaniment for choir, just incidental music for the season. This version was revised in December 2022 and is an extensive reworking of my original arrangement for saxophones.
The parts are not too hard. The Eb part is covered by an extra Bb part and the Alto Clarinet part is covered by Clarinet 5. The 2nd Bass Clarinet is optional as are the contra parts.

Smooth and serene and frequently played at weddings and at Christmas, this famous movement from J.S.Bach's Cantata BWV147 presents little technical difficulty.

Alternative Bb parts are provided to cover the Eb and Alto Clarinets, so it may be played by a minimum of 6 Bb clarinets and 1 Bass, with the 2nd Bass and Contra parts being a bonus if you have that luxury.

Glorious Bach! Bach wrote several versions of the chorale "Nun danket alle Gott" and this is the 1st movement from Cantata BWV192. All the parts are busy and require concentration resulting in a glorious sound on clarinets. This is arranged for quite a large ensemble - 2 Ebs (with alternative Bb parts provided), 5 Bbs, 1 Alto (with alternative Bb part), 2 Basses and optional Contra Alto and Contra Bass, so minimum requirements are 8 Bbs and 2 Basses.

Nutcracker - Tchaikovsky arr. Alun Cook

A Suite of 6 movements: Overture Miniature, March, Dance of the Mirlitons, Chinese Dance, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and Trepak

holly icon

I think “finger-cracker” might be a more appropriate title, with some challenging parts in this suite of six movements from Tchaikovsky's ballet, “The Nutcracker”. There are tricky sections in some of the parts which will require practice for most players, contrasting with some of the least exciting parts for the basses in the “Chinese Dance”.

This revised version (December 2023) adds 2 movements to my previous arrangement and makes a number of changes to help with breathing, and even a change of key for the “"Mirlitons”.

The Eb and Alto clarinet parts are covered by extra Bb parts, and the 2nd Bass and Contra parts are optional

A famous and beautiful Christmas carol, with all three verses set so it would be possible to accompany a choir, although it is intended as an instrumental (the key is concert Eb which is a common choice of choirs).

I have scored it for a small ensemble as I know not all of you have large Clarinet Choirs so 6 Bb's and 1 Bass (as per my MP3) will suffice if you are with Eb or Alto Clarinet as there are alternative Bb parts to cover these, and the Contra parts are optional.

At Christmas in the depths of the English countryside on the Kent and Sussex border, steam railways run Santa Specials as a Christmas treat for young and old alike. This popular piece, originally for saxophones, captures the hurrying-along of the steam engine with its cargo of excited children hoping to see Santa Claus - and they will! The Santa Express is available in many versions including those for Orchestra, Wind Band, Saxophones, and even a Piano Duet.

There are alternative Bb parts to cover the Eb and Alto Clarinets, and 2nd Bass and the Contra parts are optional. (This version revised in March 2023)

In "the West" we know this as "The Carol of the Bells", but the original was written as a New Year's carol (or Shchedrivka) by Mykola Leontovych based on a Ukrainian folk song melody which tells the story of a Swallow which flies into the house and tells of the joys of spring to come. It is still regularly performed by choirs in its original form in the Ukraine and beyond with their magnificent choral sound. This arrangement can be played with a small ensemble - just 5 Bb Clarinets and Bass Clarinet. The Contras are optional, the Alto part is covered by Clarinet 5 and the Eb part is non-essential but adds colour.

A beautiful, peaceful aria from Bach's Cantata BWV 208, "freely transcribed" for Clarinet Choir with its tonal range allowing the rich Chalumeau register to contrast with the upper register (which must always remain sweet - dolce)! Purists might prefer a stricter interpretation of the original, but I have gone for rich harmonies which are possible within Bach's outline. Although not as wild as Grainger's wonderful "Blithe Bells", it is still quite delicious to play.

The Shepherds' Farewell is taken from Berlioz's oratorio L'enfance du Christ depicting the flight of the holy family from King Herod's massacre of new-born children. Apparently, Berlioz's music was not generally appreciated by Parisian audiences, finding it too discordant and harmonically advanced for their taste but this Oratorio, and in particular this movement, was appreciated for its simplicity in form and beautiful melody, and is now sung by choirs across the world at Christmas.

There are alternative Bb parts to cover the Eb and Alto Clarinets, and the 2nd Bass and Contra parts are optional.
