Product Description

Pastoral Symphony is the 13th movement in Handel's Messiah. This is the beginning of Scene 4 of the oratorio, The Annunciation to the Shepherds, after the birth of Jesus.

The word pastorale in baroque music is a melody in thirds over a drone bass. Originally called Pifa, this movement was named after the shepherd bagpipers - pifferari - who used to play their instruments in the streets of Rome at Christmastime.

Scored for 3 Bb and Bb bass clarinets. Optional parts are:

*Eb clarinet to play in addition to, or in lieu of the 1st part

*Alto clarinet to play in addition to, or in lieu of the 3rd part

*Bb contrabass clarinet to play in addition to the bass part an octave lower

Duration: 2.5 minutes
