This intermediate clarinet choir digital download arrangement of Georges Bizet's iconic "March of the Toreadors," from Act I of his dynamic and fiery opera Carmen, is a classic. This Romantic Era arrangement is perfect for recitals, contests, competitions, music conferences, graduations, special events, children's concerts, and educational outreach performances. The arrangement was written for advanced high school, college, and professional ensembles. I have included an alternate Bb Clarinet IV part in lieu of a missing Alto clarinet. I have also included a Bb Contra Bass Clarinet part as an alternate or in addition to the ContraAlto Clarinet part. This movement is triumphant, bold, and celebratory, featuring catchy, rhythmic music that serves as a fanfare for the bullfighters' entrance and is another captivating audience favorite.
If you like this arrangement, you might also enjoy my five-movement suite for clarinet choir, "Selections from Carmen," based on Bizet's dynamic and fiery opera. Save 40% when you buy the five-movement suite, or purchase the individual movements "Aragonaise," "Seguidilla," "Habanera," "Danse Bohème," and "March of the Toreadors" separately.
