Old MacDonald Had a Farm

Traditional

For clarinet and piano

Written in C major, range G3 to E4

An old farmer shows off his animals one by one, and every verse fills the farmyard with a new moo, oink or quack. A 1917 collection of First World War soldiers’ songs, F. T. Nettleingham’s Tommy’s Tunes, already prints it as “Ohio”, with a farmer called Old Macdougal; the piano part is our own.
