Charles Gounod's Funeral March of a Marionette is most commonly known as the theme song of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," an American television series which aired between 1955-65. However, this music was originally composed between 1871 and 1872, intended to be part of a piano suite entitled "Suite Burlesque." In 1879, it was orchestrated by Gounod, and this version was used as the basis for this arrangement for clarinet choir by Hendrik Jan Lindhout.

Instrumentation:

• E-Flat Clarinet
• 4 B-Flat Clarinets
