    Songs for Clarinet

    So, I was looking through my garage, and recently round an old clarinet. So, I was wondering, what are some good songs with clarinet parts in them?

    Don't play anything. The clarinet was the worst four years of my life, and I regret ever deciding to take it. Play sax instead.
    Would you pay for music by Beck?
    Maybe.
    What if you heard he owned a plane made of gold?
    Sure.
    Good, because he needs the money.

    yeah just don't bother.....wtf?.... i recommend finding a site with lead sheets for any song you want to play. there are a few songs with clarinets but your better off looking for trumpet parts (same key) or going to a site like wikifonia.org and playing any of the songs in Bb.

    There actually are a handful of rock and pop tunes with memorable clarinet parts, if you're interested in learning those:

    The Beatles - "When I'm Sixty-Four"

    Billy Joel - "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant"

    Steely Dan - "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo"

    Supertramp - "Even in the Quietest Moments" and "Breakfast in America"

    It's all right. Everything will work out fine.
    It's all right. We're going to the end of the line!

    Firewater uses clarinet in quite a few of their tunes. It's not, to my knowledge, ever used as a lead instrument, though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCRqK...eature=related | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkT-X...eature=related
