Florida Man
for Three-Part Guitar Ensemble, Bass, and 5-String Banjo
Duration: ~4.5 minutes
Guitar 13 (intermediate), Bass (intermediate) (flexible instrumentation), 5-String Banjo (moderate-advanced soloist)
Florida Man is a humorous and high-energy piece for guitar ensemble thats guaranteed to bring the house down. Inspired by infamous headlines from the Sunshine State, this three-movement work blends twangy bluegrass flair with absurd storytelling, all through the lens of a driving, accessible ensemble piece.
Each of the three short movements is based on a real headline:
I. CHARGED WITH ASSAULT WITH DEADLY WEAPON AFTER THROWING ALLIGATOR THROUGH WENDYS DRIVE-THRU WINDOW
II. TRAPPED IN UNLOCKED CLOSET FOR TWO DAYS
III. TAKES GOLF CART ON WILD RIDE THROUGH WALMART
The three guitar parts are designed for intermediate-level players and are fun to rehearse and perform. The bass part is flexible and can be played on electric bass, upright bass, tuba, uke bass, or another suitable low-end instrument.
The real star of the show is the 5-string banjo, featured prominently throughout and best handled by an advanced player with strong solo chops and a sense of humor.
Perfect for spring concerts, community performances, or anytime you want to lighten the mood with something fresh, offbeat, and totally unforgettable. Florida Man is more than just musicits a way of life.
