Description

This witty and imaginative take on Australia’s signature waltz was originally written for Nigel Wood and his soprillo, and was one of the very first pieces to be published for soprillo saxophone.

In it, the agile little piccolo saxophone (soprillo) revisits “Matilda” in the styles of Ravel, Schubert, Beethoven, Sousa, swing and more, and she is (of course!) serenaded with didgeridoo fanfares.

In this arrangement, the solo soprillo part can be played on either Bb or Eb clarinet, or for the brave, on an Ab clarinet!  There are some optional and alternative parts for larger clarinet ensembles, and additionally, 3 optional percussion parts.
