Product Description

The Fluy Puppy is a concert march depicting the playfulness and loyalty of a dog and their owner.

Each strain or trio represents a dierent mood of a dogs life, whether happy, playful or sleepy.

Measures 1-4 Introduction

Snare Drum sticks click should be played above the drum up by the players head. The sound

quality of the stick is important as it represents the playful actions of the dog.

Measures 5-12 First Strain

The staccato notes of the flute, oboe, tenor sax, trombone, baritone and mallets represent the

playful bark of a dog trying to get their owner's attention. Special attention should be given to the

bass drum in measure 12 on beat 3.

Measures 13-20 First Strain (Repeat)

The dog and their owner begin to play. TThe percussion rhythms and accompaniment lines

become busier to show the dog's and owner's playful connection. Upper woodwinds join in the

melody leaving the playful barking to the tenor sax, trombone and baritone. The clarinets have an

important line in measures 13-16 representing the dogs playful attitude.

Measures 21-30 Second Strain

The second strain is an interaction between the owner and the dog. The low brass/woodwinds

represent the owner while the dog answers with the woodwinds and French horn. Special attention

should be given to the sound of the rim click on the snare drum. The sticks should be played with

the upper center of the stick and the top of the drum.

Measures 31-48 Trio

It is sleepy time for the dog. The woodblocks (temple blocks) should represent a tick-tock rhythm

as the dog sleeps. The flutes, oboe and mallets continue to represent the playful bark and the dog

dreams.

Measures 49-52 Drum Break

The percussion section performs a drum break as the dog is awake again and ready to play.

Measures 52-End Recap of the Trio Theme

It is playful time again! The melody should now be played separated and light in a marcato style.

Continue to emphasize the sticks click in the snare drum as it represents play time and the dog and

owner playing fetch.
