Rossini: Italian in Algiers Overture - for Clarinet Choir

ISMN # 979-0-3071-0018-3

Here is an advanced intermediate clarinet choir digital download arrangement by Mark A. Craig / Craig Music Publishers of Gioacchino Rossini’s Italian in Algiers Overture from his opera L’Italiana in Algieri. This transcription of a Classical Era work is perfect for recitals, contests, competitions, graduations, special events, and educational outreach performances. It was written for college groups 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 Contra Alto Clarinet part as an alternate or in addition to the Contrabass Clarinet part. I hope you enjoy this delightful setting of a Rossini classic; it will bring a taste of Italian opera to your next musical event.
