Sure. To the kids it’s about Little Miss Muffet and a surprise visit from her friendly local spider.But to you, the director, it’s REALLY about the “new” note called concert E-natural. Whatever method book you are using, once concert E-natural has been introduced, the band will be ready to play this one. The students will have fun with foot stomping and Miss Muffet’s scream, while you enjoy watching your students get better and better at playing concert E-natural and concert E-flat at the right times.EEEEEEEEK!

Voor (jonge) muzikanten en hun publiek is dit een grappig stuk over een spin die een verschrikte dame met een onverwacht bezoekje vereert. Voor de dirigent is dit een stuk om met name de toon E met het orkest te oefenen. Terwijl despelers en toehoorders veel plezier beleven met originele elementen zoals stampen en gillen, weet de dirigent dat de jonge muzikanten steeds zekerder worden in het afwisselen van de E en de Es. IEKS!

Als sich die kleine Miss Muffet zum Tee niederließ, konnte sie nicht ahnen, dass sie bald Gesellschaft von einer Spinne bekommen würde, sonst hätte sie sicher für sie mit gedeckt... Mike Hannickel vertonte ein bekanntes englisches Kindergedicht über eine Spinne zu einem einfachen, aber reizvollen Stück, das Jung und Alt bezaubern wird!

Cette œuvre espiègle et fantaisiste de Mike Hannickel raconte l’histoire rocambolesque de Madame Fil qui reçoit la visite surprise de son amie Araignée. Que peuvent-elles bien se raconter ? vous de tisser la toile.

Imagine Bach trying to compose in his studio while being pestered by a spider! Arachnophobia and Fugue exposes students to the Baroque style of music using dramatic contrasts, light articulation, chorale-style sections, and multiple references to Bach's works. The spider is represented by the xylophone and/or marimba supported by the flutes. As a humorous bonus, auxiliary percussion includes rolled-up newspapers to swat the pesky spider throughout the piece.
Good music played well inspires the imagination. Imagine Bach trying to compose in his studio while being pestered by a spider! First and foremost this is educational music exposing kids to the Baroque style of music. Dramatic dynamic contrasts, light articulation, chorale-style, and multiple references to Bach’s works form the basis for the work. Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, Sleepers Wake, Little Fugue in G Minor, Sheep May Safely Graze, Dies Irae, and Come Sweet Death are the basis for this look into an imaginary situation with the Great Baroque Master. The spider is represented by either a solo xylophone or multiple xylophones and/or marimba (supported by the flutes.) As a humorous bonus auxiliary percussion use rolled up newspapers to swat the pesky spider throughout the piece in rhythm with the music.
