ASCAP WORK ID# 932861139

This intermediate clarinet choir arrangement of Georges Bizet's lively Entr’Acte, the "Aragonaise" from his dynamic and fiery opera Carmen, is a classic. This transcription of a Romantic Era work is perfect for recitals, contests/competitions, music conferences, graduations, special events, and educational outreach performances. The arrangement can be played by advanced high school, college, 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 Bb Contra Bass Clarinet part as an alternate or in addition to the ContraAlto Clarinet part. This lively, rhythmically captivating orchestral masterpiece from France, transcribed here for clarinets, will bring a taste of Europe to your special musical events.

This movement is part of a five-part suite I wrote for clarinet choir, based on Bizet’s opera Carmen. To learn more about my inspiration for writing these five arrangements, click here to read my CMP Blog Post.

The other four movements from my five-movement suite “Selections from Carmen,” "Seguidilla," "Danse Bohème," "Habanera," or "March of the Toreadors," are available to purchase separately here in my Shop.

However, if you buy the entire suite, Selections from Carmen, which includes all five movements, you save 40% off the total cost.
