SKU: A0.917392

Composed by Gregory Fritze. Contemporary,Instructional,Standards. Score and parts. 42 pages. Musica Nova USA #4776975. Published by Musica Nova USA (A0.917392).

Kentuckywas composed for the Morehead State University 52nd Annual Concert Band Clinic February 11 - 14, 2010. It was premiered on February 14, 2010 by one of the Honor Bands at Morehead State University, Kentucky, with the composer conducting. It is composed as a grade 3 composition to be played by any school band at that level such as junior high or grade 7 & 8. It has no passages that should be difficult for any instrument to play. As in most grade 3 pieces, there is a lot of doubling of instruments, so even if there is not a completely full instrumentation, all voices will be heard.

In 2013, Kentuckywas selected as a finalist in Category 1 (Concert band, Grade 1-2.5 Jr. HS) in the 3rdInternational Frank Techeli Composition Contest hosted by Manhattan Beach Music.

In 2014 it was one of the featured pieces at the University of North Texas summer conducting workshop. There is a youtube video of the performance by the UNT Wind Symphony Conducted by Nicholas Guiliano. 

In 2015 an analysis and commentary of Kentuckywas published in the book Teaching Music through Performance in Band Volume 10, GIA Publications. The analysis is by Amy M. Knopps, Associate Director of Bands at Eastern Michigan University.

Hondje van de bakker 
lyrics:
Het hondje van de bakker, dat had vies gedaan
Dat was gaan zwemmen, zonder zwembroekie aan!

En van je hela hela hela holala
hela hela hela holala
hela hela hela holala
hela hela hela ho

Toen kwam er politie, die zei: “Vieze Hond!!
Ben jij gaan zwemmen, zonder broekie aan je kont!

---
Daar boven op de Berg
Lyrics:
Daar boven op de berg,
Daar boven op de berg,
daar woont Sinterklaas
daar woont Sinterklaas
Die poetst zijn tanden
Die poetst zijn tanden
met speculaas
met speculaas.

Chorus:
Van je hela, hela, hela, holala, hoi
Hela, hela, hela, holala hoi
hela, hela, hela, holala, hoi
Hela, hela, hela, holala

Daar boven op die berg, daar woont een stier
Die geeft geen melk, maar Heineken bier

Daar boven op die berg, daar staat een hek
Daar staat op geschreven: (...) is gek!
(op de plaats van de puntjes iemands naam invullen)

Het hondje van de slager, die heeft vies gedaan
Hij is gaan zwemmen, zonder zwembroekie aan

Toen kwam daar een agent aan, die zei bah vieze hond
mag jij wel zwemmen, in je blote kont

Daar boven op de berg, daar woont een pastoor
Die vrijt in z'n eentje, met het hele nonnenkoor

Daar boven op de berg, daar woont een nonnenkoor
Die vrijen met z'n allen, met die ene pastoor

Bij ons in (...), daar is het zo'n pracht
Daar geven de koeien wel een liter of acht
(Op de plaats van de puntjes je eigen plaatsnaam invullen)

En geven ze minder, dat scheelt ons geen zier
Want dan is het geen koe meer, maar dan is het een stier

Waarom heeft die zebra, toch strepen op zijn huid
Wel dat is heel natuurlijk, want hij houdt niet van een ruit

Hoog in de bergen
daar woont Sinterklaas
Die waste zijn haren
met speculaas

Daar boven op die berg
Daar woont Sinterklaas
Hij pakt zijn cadeau's in
Met kippengaas!

Daar boven op de rommelmarkt
Daar staat een vent!
En die heeft mooie boeken
Voor niet meer dan 50 cent

Daarboven op die berg
Daar woont een indiaan
En die is gaan zwemmen
Met een opblaasbanaan ( of zonder zwembroekje aan)

daar diep in de bossen
daar woont een meneer
en die schiet op konijnen
met een heel groot geweer

daar achter de schutting
daar staat een agent
die ging ik ondervragen
maar hij heeft niet bekent

m'n tante van veertig
die draagt een rare rok
die begint bij haar oksels
en die stopt pas bij haar sok

Daar boven op de berg
daar woont een skelet
hij doet niet aan karate
maar aan jazzballet!

Daar boven op de berg
Woont sinterklaas
Die poetst zijn tanden
Met pindakaas

Waarom heeft die juffrouw
Een hondje op haar schoot
Wel dat is heel natuurlijk
Want een olifant is veel te groot

Waarom blust de brandweer
Met water het vuur?
Wel dat is heel natuurlijk
Want parfum is veel te duur.
