Marching Band - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1372654 Composed by Mildred Hill and Patty Hill. Arranged by John Scott. Instructional,March,Multicultural,Traditional,World. 2 pages. John Scott #956952. Published by John Scott (A0.1372654). This piece is a march of the Happy Birthday song. The march has been designed to be simple enough for beginner brass players to also manage it, while simultaneously being entertaining. Making use of the common march rhythm, it can be instrumental for music teachers to use to train beginner brass players in the march style. It is in a simple key of G-Major (not many sharps or flats). The notes are not too high or too low for the different instruments so that beginner brass players can manage. The song is also slow enough to allow junior brassers to cope. If a tuba is also unavailable, it can be substituted by a trombone or euphonium. And best of all, who does not wish to be entertained with a joyous song on their birthday. Seeing also that there are so many birthdays in a year, this is an ideal piece to perform on many such occasions. And so, even if you are not learning the march style of brass, if there is an upcoming birthday for someone who is special to you, this is the song to use.
