Bizet - Danse Bohème, from the opera Carmen - for Clarinet Choir

This clarinet choir arrangement of Georges Bizet's exhilarating "Danse Bohème" from Act II of his dynamic, fiery opera Carmen is a classic. It is perfect for recitals, music conferences, graduations, special events, 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 lively 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 am currently writing from Carmen. To learn more about my inspiration for writing this Bizet arrangement, click here to read my CMP Blog Post.
