Concert Band - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.854316 Composed by Melanie Guerin. Contemporary,Standards. Score and parts. 36 pages. Melanie B Guerin #3043779. Published by Melanie B Guerin (A0.854316). This grade 3 band piece features mallet percussion in an exciting burst representing the electrical energy of a phone call traveling over the wires. Special instrumental effects and spoken dialogue contribute to a unique concert experience, excellent for a concert opener or finale. We hear touch tones, ringing phones, a 911 call, and emergency sirens as the phone call dances along the wires before plunging under the highway to finally emerge at a location of the ensemble's choosing. At about 2:15 in length, the piece offers some rhythmic and technical challenges for mallets and upper woodwinds, with an active part for low brass and woodwinds that provides a nice change of pace for those players. Bassoon, horn, and oboe parts are doubled in other instruments and may be omitted. Worksheet for reinforcing rhythms included.
