A charming Christmas miniature with a distinctly Scottish lilt, Noël Écossais comes to life in this expressive arrangement for Clarinet Quintet (5 Clarinets). Gentle drones, lilting ornamentation, and warm chorale textures create a festive sound world that is both intimate and atmospheric.

The flexible scoring allows each clarinet line to shine while maintaining a beautifully blended ensemble colour. Ideal for Christmas services, winter concerts, community performances, or chamber recitals seeking something reflective and evocative.

Clear articulation, comfortable ranges, and lyrical phrasing make this arrangement accessible for intermediate ensembles while still offering expressive depth for advanced players.
