Composer: Camille Saint-Saens

Arranged by Matt Johnston

Composed when Camille Saint-Saens was only 22 years old, this Tarantella is an exciting dance in 6/8 time. Originally orchestrated for solo instruments with orchestra, this piece is most commonly performed with the piano reduction. This arrangement provides a much more "orchestral" alternative to a lone piano.

Instrumentation:

Solo Flute

Solo A Clarinet

E-flat Clarinet

4 B-flat Clarinets

Alto Clarinet/Basset Horn

Bass Clarinet

Contrabass/Contralto/String Bass

Difficulty: IV (soloists and choir)

Duration: 7:00
