Welcome to New Orleans Valentin Hude

For 3 B (opt. Alto) + bass clarinet

Frequently, one is in search of a suitable ensemble piece where each member can present him-/herself with a playable solo part. Welcome to New Orleans offers you and your musicians this possibility.

Using a fast swing rhythm, the author describes in this composition the modern and the old New Orleans and its colourful history. Due to its compatibility - available are editions for saxophone, clarinet and brass quartet - this piece enables you to put together your own small New Orleans band, e.g. consisting of a clarinet, a trumpet, a tenor saxophone and a trombone. That´s almost like playing music in the good old times!

Instrumentation: Bb Clarinet 1, Bb Clarinet 2, Bb Clarinet 3 (sub. Alto), Bb Bass Clarinet
