Mendoza y Cortes (arr. Molina) - Cielito Lindo for Clarinet Choir

Cielito Lindo by Quirino Mendozy y Cortés, arranged for Clarinet Choir by Tiana Molina. From the arranger: "I fell in love with the traditional Mexican folk song called Cielito Lindo written by Quirino Mendoza y Cortés at a very young age and have kept it in my heart ever since. I  remember hearing this song mixed in with numerous other wonderful songs my Dad used to put on the speakers for me to listen to when growing up. It was also the first song I learned to sing in Spanish and once I learned it, I couldn’t stop singing it or humming it everywhere I went."

Instrumentation:

• 6 B-Flat Clarinets
• Alto Clarinet/Basset Horn (optional for Clarinet 6)
