And here we see the incredibly rare bass clarinet solo!

[grimmbonez_]

0:00 - 0:21 "Overture"
0:21 - 0:35 "What's This? "
0:35 - 2:07 "Christmas Eve Montage"
2:07 - 3:11 "Sally's Song"
3:11 - 4:24 "This Is Halloween"
4:24 - 5:12 "What's This?"


Just in case someone needs it :3 Sally's Song is my personal favorite, mostly because of the clarinet choir there in the beginning.

I'm a bass clarinet and I literally fell out of my chair at the solo

[dimlylitshadows]

I'm a piccolo player and I got so happy when I saw there was a piccolo solo. And not one that tries to kill me like stars and stripes

[emr]

i play bass clarinet and when i saw that i have a solo i nearly cried

[adrianjames]

I’m a Bass Clarinet.
My band teacher is letting the 7th graders play this. I’m an 8th grader. I’ve been offered to play this. I accepted. I HAVE 5 DAYS TO LEARN THIS FOR A CONCERT.

I’m a clarinet player and my band teacher said I could try bass clarinet and this is the first song he gave us, IM SO HAPPY I GET A SOLO

[darthplagueisthewise]

The Sally's song part gets me every time. It's just so beautiful.

[koiwastaken]

Got my band teacher to get this! The oboe solo was turned into a muted trumpet solo because we don't have an oboe. Lucky for me I play Trumpet.

[emmadecraene]

Playing this in band. I play flute. Listening to this disappoints me because we don't sound even close to how it supposed to sound.

[SPEEDFANLIFE]

My band is playing this song this year in our Christmas concert and let me tell you it’s phenomenal in person

[alexrose]

I'm a bass clarinet player and honestly the solo makes me so pleased :)

[AVelociraptor]

in my opinion this is Halloween should've had more time devoted to it as it is the first song you here in the entire movie besides the overture .

[camdenrafftery]

That Vibraphone solo is genuinely one of, if not the most beautiful solo I’ve ever heard. It’s just so greatly written no matter how simple it is.

[ciaracynthia]

I’m so glad clarinets have melody for part of this is Halloween

[prettysaxy]

We're playing this for our Christmas concert! GO HORNS!! 💀🎄

[emiliasmith]

omg I listened to this and cried... I got a major flashback from my seventh grade year. Ahhh, memories

[anisaalonso]

The bass clarinet solo is just amazing!!

[annadavis]

As a bass clarinet I actually cried when I heard the bass clarinet solo

[sleeve.]

Everyone out here talking about the bass clarinet solo and I'm hype for oboe solo
