This advanced intermediate, high-spirited clarinet choir digital download arrangement of Gioacchino Rossini's "Overture" from his operatic dramma giocoso L'Italiana in Algieri is a perennial favorite for wind players. Written at the end of the Classical Era, it is perfect for recitals, contests, competitions, graduations, special events, and educational outreach performances. This lively overture, also called a sinfonia, offers typical Rossini features such as beautiful melodies, spirited rhythms, and, of course, the obligatory "Rossini crescendo." The arrangement was written for college groups and professional ensembles. I have included alternate Bb clarinet parts in lieu of a missing Eb clarinet or Alto clarinet. I have also included a Contra Alto Clarinet part as an alternate or in addition to the Contrabass Clarinet part. I hope you enjoy this delightful setting of this Rossini classic.
If you like this arrangement, you might also like my lively and dynamic clarinet choir arrangement of the sinfonia "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" from George F. Handel's oratorio Solomon. It's available on:
