UPC: 000308076493.

This chart really fills a void in literature for this level. It is designed to be played on synth with a cool electric piano sound, but we tried it with acoustic piano and it sounds great that way too. The piano part is completely written out- Frank's idea to create a contemporary sounding piece for a classically trained piano student is right on the money! Of course, it you are blessed with the student who is comfortable with improvising, so much the better.

Recor ded on the Sammy Sammy Nestico CD This Is The Moment, this revised arrangement does not call for flutes, woodwinds, French horns or tuba, though some additional personnel (second keyboard/synthesizer, mallets, 2 percussion) are needed. This is a real specialty number that can't be played by every group, but bear in mind that it sounds more difficult than it really is. It is great fun to play, individual parts are not extreme, and the bright tempo doesn't call for a lot of fancy syncopation. With some committed rehearsal, this will work well on a diversified program.
