Product Description
REPUBLIC
OF CUBA: El Himno de Bayamo
This
national anthem arrangement is essential for traveling musicians,
bands, instrumental groups and both amateur and professional ensembles. Although it's primarily designed for band, you can
play it with any virtually any combination of instruments: symphonic band,
clarinet choir, brass ensemble, brass band, solos, duets and trios - almost
anything!
This
arrangement is in six independent parts each transposed into a variety of keys.
For the most satisfying sound youll need to get a good balance between each
part possibly with an emphasis on the melodic line. If you have a non-standard
ensemble, you can "pick 'n' mix" as required. The piano reduction can
"fill" missing parts or can be used as the basis for an accompaniment.
This
arrangement consists of a four-page score with seven instrumental staves and
three percussion staves. The following parts are printed on separate pages. The
score and all the parts are contained in the same 38-page PDF file.
Part
1 in B flat (clarinet, trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn, soprano sax); Part 1 in C (oboe,
glockenspiel, violin); Part 1 in E flat (alto sax, E flat clarinet); Part 1a in
C (octave above concert for flute, piccolo, oboe, violin) and Part 1a in E flat
(E flat cornet in brass band).
Part

Part 2 in E flat (alto sax); Part 2a in C (octave above concert pitch for flute,
oboe, violin); Part 2a in B flat for clarinets (9th above concert

clarinet).
Part

bassoon); Part 3 in C alto (alto clef for viola); Part 3 in E flat (tenor horn, alto sax); Part 3 in F (French

bassoon, tuba, double bass); Part 6 in E flat (E flat bass, baritone sax). Theres
also a part for timpani, percussion (3 players) and a piano reduction.
Parts
1a and 2a are provided because Parts 1 and 2 are too low to be comfortably
played by flute and piccolo. By using these parts you can create a high
woodwind tone above the other instruments.
