This easy-to-prepare beginning band comedy piece will have the audience rolling in the aisles. Feature that popular principal, custodian, secretary or any other staff or community member who has a little bit of comedian in them as the Triangle soloist. One interruption after another prevents the soloist from actually playing the Triangle until the very end of the piece where, with a band member’s assistance, the soloist finally gets to play the Triangle one single time. Everyone will love it! Side-splitting!

Dit concert voor triangel en orkest staat garant voor een komische noot. De triangelsolist(e) komt met veel poespas op en mist vervolgens tijdens het concerto - op een zeer opvallende manier - elk moment waarop hij of zij moet spelen.De laatste noot is echter eindelijk raak. Het wordt extra leuk als een bekende persoon deze grappige rol op zich neemt (bijvoorbeeld een oud-lid of een voorzitter): de spelers en het publiek zullen zich kostelijk vermaken!

Ein heiteres, komödiantisches Stück, das leicht einzustudieren ist: Präsentieren Sie jemanden - gerne auch einen Nicht-Musiker - dem verdutzten Publikum als den Triangel-Solisten“ vor. Was nun folgt, ist unbezahlbar komisch: Eine Unterbrechung jagt die andere und hält den Solisten“ von seinem kunstvollen Vortrag ab, bis er schließlich, ganz zum Schluss, mit tatkräftiger Unterstützung eines Orchestermusikers, doch noch zu seinem Auftritt kommt. Ein absoluter Brüller!

Cette composition humoristique est un hommage « vibrant » au triangle. Une seule note jouer mais avec prestance, précision et sérieux. La carrière en dépend ! Hélas, les empêchements sont nombreux : problème de matériel, de temps, d’espace, sonnerie du portable, etc. Notre brillant soliste réussira-t-il son coup de maître ? vous de le découvrir !

Avalon–Long Live the King is a medieval fantasy piece depicting the Isle of Avalon where the mystical sword Excalibur of King Arthur was forged. Composer Tyler Arcari unearths a solid piece for young bands that is both bold and dramatic. This piece is sure to spark the imagination of students and give them strong musical content with which they can develop their musicianship.
Program Notes:Avalon–Long live the King began its journey as a commission in honor of a dear friend and mentor. David Riggs is one of those band directors that just seems timeless. He is a powerhouse with such a stacked resume that it is easy to forget that at the end of the day he enjoys taking long bike rides with his lovely wife and whittling a piece of wood just as much as being a band director. He has touched so many lives and inspired so many people in our field and beyond. I was humbled, and honored, when I was contacted for the commission. To David, I hope that you one day know how much you mean to so many people, including myself.About the piece:The piece is written with a little homage to David’s long tenure at Avalon Middle school in Pace, Florida. He was certainly treated like a king as the band director and rightly so. It seemed only fitting to add a little medieval fantasy. Avalon is a mystical island in the world of King Arthur where the great sword Excalibur was forged.The piece begins lyrically with a slow introduction with melodic material. This melodic motive is used throughout with slight variations depending on the instrument voicing etc. Care should be taken at m. 10 that the Timpani roll helps to bridge our transition from an exposed section to full tutti. Care should be taken so that the tempo change at m. 19 is brisk and avoids the low brass turning into stomping. Accessories like the China cymbal and tambourine can become overpowering. I recommend having students think of these effects as background in order to make sure they don’t POP out. The dynamic changes at mm. 27-35 should be subito similar to orchestral dynamic changes. Avoid unwritten crescendos in this section. Measures 60–64 are a great opportunity to teach those unwritten dynamics that make music so enjoyable as we lead up to the finale. It was originally left blank for some theatrics in the premiere at David’s retirement concert so I know he would enjoy adding some Cholesterol as David would say.Long Live the King!
