Pickett (arr. Johnston) - God Rest Ye Merry Gentle Mensch for Clarinet Quartet and Drumset

A hilarious Christmas arrangement, Klezmer-band style, by Saturday Night Live music director/bandleader Lenny Pickett. Originall scored for saxophone quartet with percussion, and recorded by the New Century Saxophone Quartet on A New Century Christmas, here it has been adapted for clarinet quartet. Until a recording for clarinets is available, here we have provided a recording of the saxophone version for reference.

Instrumentation:

• 3 Clarinets
• Bass Clarinet
• Percussion (Bass Drum, Hi-Hat, Acme Duck Call, Acme Siren, Snare Drum, Pit Xylophone, Bicycle Horn)
