(1) The National Philharmonic Orchestra is a British orchestra created exclusively for recording purposes. It was founded by RCA producer Charles Gerhardt and orchestra leader Sidney Sax due in part to the requirements of the Reader's Digest recording project.
Before settling on this name, the orchestra began operation in 1964 using a variety of names including RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra and the London Promenade (the latter consisting largely of London Philharmonic Orchestra personnel). It was incorporated as the National Philharmonic Orchestra in 1970. Musicians from Londonโs huge talent pool were contracted by Gerhardt and Sax. The orchestra ceased to be an exclusive RCA recording organization at the same time that Gerhardt replaced Sax as the concertmaster. Decca Records began using the orchestra in March 1974. This was for a Phase 4 Stereo recording of the Yellow River Piano Concerto conducted by Elgar Howarth. Columbia Records began using the orchestra in 1975.
Such conductors as Leopold Stokowski, Richard Bonynge, and Charles Gerhardt made recordings with it. Bonynge recorded all three of Tchaikovsky's ballets with it for Decca, and Gerhardt made a series of stereo recordings of Hollywood film music with it for RCA Victor. The orchestra has been featured on the soundtrack of many films, and, with Kenneth Schermerhorn conducting, it was also heard on the soundtrack of Baryshnikov's production The Nutcracker, a staging of Tchaikovsky's ballet which became a television classic, after being presented live onstage. The orchestra also provided the music for the stage production.
(2) The National Philharmonic Orchestra, based in Washington, D.C., was founded and conducted by Piotr Gajewski, and is currently in residence at the Music Center at Strathmore (Maryland). It was formerly known as the National Chamber Orchestra.

I play clarinet and this piece is a great representation of how beautiful a clarinet sounds.
Justinmichael O'Toole
Agree completely, such an amazing fun piece, on a exquisite versatile instrument :D
Madeleine Walker
We are playing this for our spring concert and some one is actually going to pie our director in the face ๐
Larry Lamborn
Mancini and Vinson have written one of the happiest, most exuberant pieces of music ever. Their polka picks up your spirits when you are down, and it is a musical victory lap when you have triumphed.
Magnus Tipsmark
Well, it is sure to make the clarinetist(s) either very happy or very scared ๐
Sybil-Roxanne Clemons
Be afraid with Mr. Mancini 's version which is twice as fast.
Fish GoGlub
Both. Very much both.
Niels Thorite
No matter what, hearing this song, especially near the end, instantly makes you feel happy no matter what. Though I can imagine the fingers of of the clarinet player to tangle into about a thousand knots while playing this.๐
Jay Gephart
Played this with my Kokomo Park Band. Clarinet section was absolutely fantastic. Crowd LOVED it. Great arrangement.
Eshaa Dalal
