Step Up! is a band section feature for beginning instrumental students. The work provides an excellent vehicle to showcase each instrument in the band, providing an ideal selection for recruiting assemblies, parent/grandparentas day programs and first concerts. Each section can stand for the solo feature, at the discretion of the director. If an instrument is not in an ensemble, then that portion of the piece can be omitted. Example: If there are no saxophones in the group, then omit mm. 31a43 and insert percussion (or hand claps) on the first two beats of m. 74. I suggest that if the glissando is to be played in m. 68 that it only be introduced once the students are secure performing the passage without the ornament.

ISBN 9781491157152. UPC: 680160915712. 6.875 x 10.5 inches. Key: F major. English, English. Traditional Spiritual.

For the emerging mixed choir, Delanoy's arrangement of this timeless spiritual favorite offers energy, variety and is sure to inspire through its uplifting melody of hope and determination for a better life -no matter the obstacle. Concert and festival approved!.
Let Me Fly is an American spiritual which, on the surface, tells of a yearning for the promised land of heaven. On a deeper level, its early singers envisioned an escape from slavery, with the Underground Railroad serving as the chariot. In either case, the song is an uplifting melody of hope and determination for a better life, no matter the obstacle. Please take note of the layered section in mm. 55-62, which starts with Part II, adds Part I in m. 57, and completes the layering with Part III at m. 59. The repeated measures of 59-60 allow for an accompanist or soloist to improvise while the choir sings and claps along for as many repeats as desired. The number of repeats is up to the discretion of the conductor. If there is no improvisation, it is recommended that mm. 59-60 be sung three times before moving on.

Stacked vocal lines and counterpoint handclaps sound (and look) stunning! Each voice part introduces its own independent melody with claps, until everything combines in joyful polyphony. Some chordal singing and a call-and-response section provide contrast before an energized reprise leads to the brilliant final flourish. A remarkably effective concert/contest feature, newly available for SSAA groups.
