Small Ensemble Bassoon,Euphonium,Trombone - Level 1 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.778246

Composed by John McAllister. Instructional,Standards. Score and parts. 6 pages. John McAllister #6736039. Published by John McAllister (A0.778246).

This set of ten (easy) duets is for young band musicians. It would fall into the grade 1-1.5 range and these are perfect for an early introduction into chamber music. The best part is they're available for ALL instruments. Young players can mix and match with their friends, regardless of the instrument they play - flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone, baritone, tuba, euphonium, mallets, etc.

Each of the duets explores a slightly different style- light and playful, moderato--basic, slow and legato, scherzo, maestroso/regal/triumphant, and more. The independence needed to achieve these duets is not too difficult, making it work for a maximum variety of young players.

Thank you for you're interest in my arrangement one of The Greatest Showman's greatest hits! This arrangement of Never Enough is for concert band with an optional vocal soloist.

The work starts out with the simple piano arpeggios that really hooked my ear on the original, before leading into an intimate blend of woodwind timbres and flowing percussive melodies for the first verse. Low Brass lead the work into the first chorus, where a Horn solo carries the emotion to the first full ensemble hit that pushes through until the end of the work where sudden silence and soft, warm extended chord punctuates the piece.

This piece was written with advanced high school and higher level musicians in mind. Though the pieces isn't incredibly difficult overall, the range asked of some of the performers and the raw emotion that this work represents demands a level of training. The score will likely be better printed on Legal sized paper to help with readability, but the parts are all easily printable on standard 8.5x11 copy paper.

As a current full time band director who would love to be able to do this full time one day, any and all critiques are appreciated, and I'm particularly interested in formatting suggestions!

A little about me:
My name is Jason Howard, and at the time of this publication, I'm going into my 5th year as a band director at the middle and high school levels. I have quite a bit of experience with arranging of various types of vocal and instrumental ensembles and combos. Most are for personal use, but as I get time, I hope to publish more and more for public consumption! Primarily, I focus on popular music, and I one day hope to bring important and influential classical musics to audiences and younger students everywhere!
