Product Description
Melody and four-part harmony parts for flute, recorder, oboe, violin, viola.
Chords included in every part, to encourage use of song as a
vehicle for improvisation.
In original key, so you can play along with the recording.
As a young musician, I often had a hard time finding music for
me and my friends to play together. Small wonder, when I was a flutist and my
closest friends in band played trumpet, baritone sax, and clarinet. Who writes
for that combination?
Later, as a music teacher, I would either be approached by
students in the same kind of situation or I would have an after-school ensemble
consisting of something like 3 flutes, 2 alto saxes, 4 pianists, 5 drummers, a
guitar, a viola, and an accordion. Now, really. Who writes for THAT
combination?!
Since I am also a composer (who often finds herself writing
for similarly odd instrumentation), I would simply arrange music for that
combination. But not every teacher or student is comfortable with doing that or
has the time to. Finally, I am sharing with you all the fruits of my labor. Let
friends play with friends! Let people pick parts that they are comfortable
with! Lets play some music we love!
