Product Description
This fast, fun, exciting arrangement of Harry Styles' "As It Was" is another one of Adam Janssen's most-requested arrangements!! Written in the same key as the original (A Major), this arrangement offers the opportunity to work on double stops (or can be played as divisi), staccato/spicatto playing, as well as syncopated rhythms that are faithful to the original. The melody is passed around the ensemble, allwoing for each section to shine; this arrangement also offers two optional percussion parts: drum set and chimes (flexible instrumentation). The arranger offers consistent bowing recommendations as well as recommendations on divisi parts. This arrangement will surely delight your audience and musicians, and is perfect for the developing Middle- or High- School ensemble or professional chamber musicians for a wedding cocktail hour!!
