This intermediate clarinet quartet digital download arrangement of John Philip Sousa's patriotic march "Hands Across the Sea" is perfect for recitals, patriotic concerts, Americana events, or background dinner music gigs. It is a short, engaging piece that can break up a long program and give the ears a brief hiatus from some of the heavier pieces on the program. This arrangement was written for advanced high school ensembles, college groups, and professional quartets. My clarinet quartet arrangements have equally balanced parts, so all Bb's will play melody, counter melody, and obbligato/technical passages. Originally scored for a full concert band, I hope you enjoy this setting for clarinets.

If you like this arrangement, you might also like my clarinet quartet arrangement of Josef Franz Wagner's march "Under the Double Eagle March." It's available on:
