Caribbean Suite: Havana Moon for Clarinet Choir and Percussion
Composers:- Reed, Alfred
Duration: 3
Description:
Part of the CARIBBEAN SUITE, “Havana Moon” was written in 1955 by Alfred Reed (1921-2005) during the rising popularity of the clarinet choir as an ensemble among music educators around the United States. The first original work for clarinet choir and percussion, Reed remarked that its initial success was, in large part, due to the developments made in the low-register clarinet family members at the time. “Havana Moon” remains a standard in the clarinet choir repertoire. If a contrabass clarinet is unavailable, a substitute part for string bass or bassoon is also included.
