Product Description
Melody and four-part harmony parts for
Eb & F instruments (alto saxophone, baritone saxophone, alto horn, Eb clarinet, alto clarinet, English horn, French horn).
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!
