  • The Eventual arrival of the Queen of Sheba

    SKU: SM-F82E
    £10.95

    G F Handel ~ arranged by Melanie Thorne
    This is an arrangement of the famous ‘Entrance of the Queen of Sheba’ from Solomon.  It is not always faithful to the original as it is not just a transcription and has been slightly shortened to make it playable for wind instruments.  The 4th part also gives the work a sense of direction through the varying bass line, and provides interest, rather than just harmonic support, for the 4th Flute (opt. alto or bass) player. (Grade 7-8)
    [3 Fl/ 1 Fl opt. alto or bass Fls]

    John W Bratton ~ arranged by Melanie Thorne

    The melody of the original work by John W Bratton, was composed in 1907.  The lively, original two step style lends itself well to an arrangement for Clarinet quartet.  Needless to say, Sempre has included some individuality in this arrangement, with melodic interest in all parts, a brief swing-style section, and a fast finale to complete the work. (Grade 6-8)
    [3 B♭ Cl/ Bs B♭ Cl]
