**Annotation** : Though 5 Huapangos is a grade III work, it is highly accessible. The work is one of
the few for clarinet and bass clarinet with a range this compact (it has only one note above C4, a
G4 on the very last note, which can easily be taken down an octave by the student). The tempo
markings indicate that the work should be played in one, but again, this can be adjusted for the
students’ levels. Each movement is separated by a solo bass clarinet interlude before moving on
to the next movement attaca.
