This arrangement is created for Harmonica Ensemble, but can easily be adapted for any other instrument ensemble with 2 sections and 1 soloist player. Harmonica 1 is arranged with beginning players in mind, with easy step-wise movements between most notes, while Harmonica 2 is arranged to challenge more advanced players with more notes on the extreme ends of a chromatic harmonica. Solo part is written to showcase the skills and musicianship of an outstanding member in the ensemble, with more complex rhythm, requiring good coordination between the soloist and the accompanying pianist, and with ornate passages for the soloist to flourish his/her mastery of the instrument.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard?s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
