Yvan Belleau and Kálmán Oláh's "Suite for Clarinet and Jazz Orchestra" is an extended creative work for large ensemble, written as a collaboration between the two composers, that features clarinet as the principal soloist throughout. 

This fifth movement, "Transformation" has a melody that floats over top of a shifting 12/8 afro cuban / flamenco accompaniment and a mixed-metre 6/4 triplet groove. There is solo space for tenor saxophone as well as the clarinet.

The woodwind configuration is: Solo Clarinet, Soprano Sax, Alto Sax, 2 Tenor Saxes, and Bass Clarinet.

There are three optional percussion parts included: 2 cajón parts and an alternate drum set part (to be played if the added percussionists are present).
