Program Notes:

While at IMEC (Illinois Music Education Conference) in January 2020, Dr. Steve Peterson suggested that I transcribe Stravinsky's "Pulcinella Suite" for clarinet choir. Having recently transcribed Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker", continuing with another ballet seemed like a good idea - although learning my lesson, this time I opted to just transcribe the orchestral suite rather than the entire ballet.
