Concert Band - Level 2 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.522169

Composed by Chéng Màoyún (1900-1957). Arranged by Colin Kirkpatrick. Contemporary. Score and parts. 32 pages. Colin Kirkpatrick Publications #4795369. Published by Colin Kirkpatrick Publications (A0.522169).

This quick and easy national anthem arrangement is essential for traveling musicians, bands, instrumental groups and both amateur and professional ensembles. 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! It will also work with an orchestra.

This arrangement is in five independent parts each transposed into a variety of keys. For the most satisfying sound you’ll 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 for school use.

This arrangement consists of a three-page score with fivee instrumental staves and four percussion staves (including timpani). The following parts are printed on separate pages. The score and all the parts are contained in the same 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 2 in B flat (clarinet, trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn, soprano sax); Part 2 in C (violin); 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 pitch); Part 2a in E flat (minor 3rd below concert for E flat alto clarinet).
Part 3 in B flat (tenor saxophone, B flat baritone); Part 3 in C (bass clef for trombone, bassoon); Part 3 in C alto (alto clef for viola); Part 3 in E flat    (tenor horn, alto sax); Part 3 in F (French horn); Part 3a in B flat (8ve below Part 3 in B flat for 3rd clarinets in band).
Part 4 in B flat (tenor sax, baritone); Part 4 in C (bass clef for trombone, euphonium, bassoon, cello); Part 4 in E flat (tenor horn); Part 4 in F (French horn).
Part 5 in B flat (B flat bass, bass clarinet); Part 5 in C (bass clef for bass trombone, bassoon, tuba, double bass); Part 5 in E flat (E flat bass, baritone sax). There’s 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 for to be comfortably played by flute and oboe. By using these parts you can create a high woodwind tone above the other instruments.
