Composed by Jim Parker. Arranged by Sjoerd van der Veen. This edition: pdf, streaming. 21st Century, Chamber, Film/TV, Pop. 7 pages. Sjoerd van der Veen #156571. Published by Sjoerd van der Veen (A0.546556).Bring the delightfully eerie, nostalgic, and quintessentially British atmosphere of TV’s favorite detective series to your ensemble with this wonderful arrangement of the Midsomer Murders Theme, originally composed by Jim Parker. Masterfully adapted for a Standard Clarinet Quartet (3 B-Flat Clarinets and Bass Clarinet) by Sjoerd van der Veen.
Famous for its haunting, floating waltz melody (originally performed on the theremin), this theme translates beautifully into the rich, vocal characteristics of the clarinet family. This specific edition features the most widely played quartet instrumentation, making it an instant hit for established ensembles worldwide.
Why this Standard Edition is a must-have:
Authentic Textures & Depth: By utilizing the Bass Clarinet, this version perfectly captures the driving, staccato heartbeat of the original television soundtrack (dotted half=48 in 3/4 time), allowing the upper clarinet lines to float effortlessly on top.
Balanced & Fair Part Distribution: Following the arranger's golden rule, every single part is engaging and rewarding to play. The soaring, expressive solo lines weave smoothly through the upper parts, giving multiple players a chance to shine.
The Ultimate Gig & Encore Piece: Designed with professional layout standards and featuring a clear D.S. al Fine structure, this short, high-impact piece is highly accessible yet deeply satisfying. It's the perfect choice for lighter concert programs, casual gigs, community events, or as a crowd-pleasing encore.
