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!
