By EnsembleSheetMusic. Composed by De Falla, Manuel. Arranged by Sjoerd van der Veen. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Chamber, Classical, Contest, Festival, Multicultural, World. 28 pages. Sjoerd van der Veen #156637. Published by Sjoerd van der Veen (A0.546692).Bring the fiery passion, rhythmic intensity, and vibrant colors of Spain to your ensemble with this spectacular arrangement of Manuel de Falla’s legendary The Miller's Dance (Danza del Molinero), from the famous ballet The Three-Cornered Hat (El sombrero de tres picos). Expertly adapted for an expanded Clarinet Choir / Clarinet Ensemble by Sjoerd van der Veen.
This premium edition captures the absolute dramatic essence of Falla’s orchestral masterpiece. It contrasts explosive, virtuoze flourishes with a heavy, driving flamenco-infused rhythm, making it an extraordinary showpiece that pushes the expressive boundaries of the clarinet family.
Features of this Orchestral Edition:
Rich, Multi-Layered Textures: The arrangement utilizes an expansive lineup, including 1 E-flat Clarinet, 6 independent B-flat Clarinet parts, and 2 Bass Clarinets. This structure provides incredible sonic depth, seamlessly passing fast chromatic syncopations and lush, biting harmonies across the ensemble.
The Virtuositic E-flat Role: The E-flat clarinet takes center stage with brilliant, cutting solo lines, imitating the fast, percussive rasgueado techniques of traditional Spanish guitar playing and soaring orchestral colors.
Maximum Ensemble Flexibility: Includes an optional Contrabass Clarinet part to provide a massive, floor-shaking low register. Furthermore, an optional Timpani part is included. For smaller choirs operating without percussion, crucial timpani cues are meticulously integrated into the contrabass and lower bass clarinet lines (marked as a def. Timpani).
Moving from a lightning-fast Poco Vivo prelude into the heavy, thumping Moderato assai, molto ritmico e pesante main theme, this arrangement demands tight rhythmic discipline, crisp secco articulation, and high-energy ensemble playing. It is a spectacular, high-octane choice for clarinet choir festivals, conservatory masterclasses, and headline concert programs.
