Japanese Songs for Clarinet Choir (Octet) and Optional Percussion by Masato Tajino. Metropolis Music, 2010, SS, (includes parts and score). For E-flat clarinet, 3 B-flat clarinets, alto clarinet, bass clarinet, contra alto clarinet, and contra bass clarinet. There is a small amount of divisi on the E-flat part, a little more on the first clarinet part, and one note each on the second and third clarinet parts. The songs are: Zui Zui Zukkrobashi (a children's play song), Hotaru (Firefly), and Oedo Nihonbashi (Flower Dance). Not that difficult but it would probably take a college level ensemble to put it together. (C1584)
