Woody Woodblocker is a novelty piece featuring the title instrument as a soloist. It is suitable for bands currently in the first year of lessons. It should be performed in a lively manner and played at a tempo deemed suitable by the director. While the typical woodblock is usually struck with a drumstick, the director may wish to explore other types of blocks and mallets which may prove more effective with bands of varying sizes. To overcome the issue of balance, the woodblock notes are primarily sounded while the winds have rests within a measure. Young bands, therefore, with more than a few players in the percussion section may use more than one woodblock player on the solo part without upsetting the balance between woodblock(s) and winds. Thank you for choosing this composition.

Flexible Saxophone Duets with optional piano support arranged for ANY combination of Saxophones.
[bg_collapse view=link color=#4a4949 icon=arrow expand_text=Show More collapse_text=Show Less ]The Piano Part (shown on one stave) is optional. It provides an easy yet highly effective (and often jazzy) accompaniment.
In some instances it may be easier to use both hands: e.g. in ‘Merry Go Round’ and ‘Waltz’. For practice purposes, the pianist may play parts I and II as a means of support, or in the absence of a second player.

In some of the duets, such as ‘Latin Combo’, the pianist may be able to play all parts together should it be necessary.

The WOODWIND and SAXOPHONE books may combine, providing duets for any type of Saxophone with Flute, Oboe, Recorder and/or Clarinet. Parts I & II are of equal importance and either may be played by any of the listed instruments.

It is recommended that the larger of the two instruments plays the lower of the two parts(!)[/bg_collapse]

SKU: TM.01616SET

Composed by Johann Stamitz. Edited by Hoffmann. Set Type: D. Set of parts. Lucks Music Library #A7114. Published by Lucks Music Library (TM.01616SET).

Sandra Dackow Little Known Gem - Grade IV+. Ed. by Hoffmann. This delightful set of works in the keys of G, A, and B-flat major takes full advantage of multiple stops, chords, and fiddle writing that lays easily under the hand and is fun to play. The fast movements are vigorous and the contrasting slow movements are not particularly fussy or florid, though they include some ornamentation. In the Allegro sections, musicians should approach the playing as they would a work by Haydn or Mozart: eighth and quarter notes off the string and at the frog, and sixteenth notes on the string. Stamitz’s players would have followed the general rule of the down bow, where the strong beat would begin with a down bow. In Concerto No. 1 in G, the Violin I parts reach to sixth position, requiring high G’s. Unusual writing for its time, these passages are both logical and easy for players to find and hear. Cello and bass parts reach high F’s on occasion and require third, fourth and fifth positions. The second violin and viola parts do not require extended ranges, making this work practical for an upper intermediate orchestra. The slow movements transition between different keys and requires the low strings to use extension notes such as G-sharp and A-sharp.
