Welcome to Craig Music Publishers:
Discover our exceptional arrangements for winds
Clarinet arrangements that make you smile. Now, think about that for a moment.
Mark Craig is a masterful musician and arranger, with a deep understanding of how the entire clarinet family (of instruments) works and works together. His arrangements are historically accurate, but the distinguishing characteristic of these arrangements is the scoring. They are fun to play and listen to, making them a great choice for almost any musical event. Start with a Mozart and call your clarinet friends.

A Stellar Arranger!
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this [Patapan Fantasy] medley! As a woodwind musician, I have found it hard to find Christmas music that is creative, yet stays true to its character. It seems that most medleys are simply the standard version of a few carols, all lumped together in jarring key changes, and frankly, boring. Mark's version here is an excellent example of how taking a fresh look at the music, yet striving for authenticity, really pays off!
