Brass Band - Grade 2

SKU: BT.GOB-000729-130

Composed by William Vean. Score Only. 24 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000729-130. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000729-130).

In this composition William Vean takes you on a journey through the fascinating and exciting world of animals. Apart from it being a composition filled with special effects, Animal Kingdom contains many educational elements, such as playing inswing (triplets feeling), chromatics, flutter tonguing, gypsy tuning, varying keys, and, of course, dynamics and articulation. The melodic lines occur in all four voices, as well as in all percussion parts, providing each musician with theopportunity to play a solo or to accompany.
Highly recommended for your youth band!

William Vean is an educational composer. He knows how to musically shape the special elements from our daily lives. His music is therefore veryexpressive, containing creative solutions to possible problems. Special ways of playing make his music particularly interesting for the winds, but the percussion section is also featured in his special effects.

The world of the animalsalways plays on ones imagination. In Animal Kingdom, William Vean has portrayed a number of animals in a special manner:

Kevin Kangaroo - The jumping character of this animal can be heard in different voices. The swing style alsoemphasizes the characteristic movements of the kangaroo. Playing in swing style can be practised by using scales.

Eddy Elephant - For some of his smaller fellow fauna friends this can be quite an ordeal, but for Eduard (Eddy for friendsand intimates) it is his daily walk.

Baldrick Bat - Baldrick the Bat is a mysterious character. This can be heard in the fast moving valves and keys, accompanied by special effects in the percussion section.

Curtis Camel - Curtisthe Camel trudges across the desert, feeling bored. The idea that the horizon will never change does not affect him anymore. He has accepted his fate. The distinctive tones from the gypsy scale provide the suitable oriental sounds.

BettyButterfly - Butterfly Betty elegantly, and without worries, flutters from flower to flower in the garden. Her motto: Carpe Diem (Seize the Day). Betty is a one-day butterfly.

Marvin Monkey - A swing monkey stirs up the feelings. Evenmembers of the orchestra will look like real monkeys. How about your audience?

Each part has its own difficulties and challenges.
Important in the first part is playing in swing (triplets feeling). This can be practised usingscales.
In the second part ensemble playing and balance are important.
In Baldrick additional information on the effects that have to be played might be useful. New sounds are, of course, welcome.
Curtis the Camel introduces thegypsy scale. Additional explanation of the use of the scale might be useful. Key changes are interesting in this part. A slight accent on the first beat of the bar will add to the charm of this part.
Marvin the Monkey brings back the swingrhythm that was introduced in the first part, alternated by a straight part with attention to chromatics and articulation.

A story teller will definitely be an asset when performing this composition.

Willi am Vean neemt u mee in de fascinerende en verrassende wereld van het dierenrijk.
Naast leuke speelmuziek vol ''special effects'', is deze compositie zeer educatief van opzet.
Als interessant inhoudelijke zaken komenonder andere aan de orde - het in swing spelen (triolen feeling), chromatiek, flatterzunge, zigeunertoonsoort, afwisselende maatsoorten en natuurlijk dynamiek en articulatie.
Tevens lopen de melodielijnen zowel door alle 4 destemmen als alle percussie partijen, zodat iedere muzikant de gelegenheid krijgt om te soleren dan wel te begeleiden.
Een aanrader voor uw jeugdorkest!

De dierenwereld spreekt muzikaal gezien altijd tot de verbeelding.William Vean heeft op bijzondere wijze een aantal dieren neergezet.
De componist weet op een bijzondere wijze elementen uit het dagelijkse leven muzikaal vorm te geven. Zijn muziek is daarom erg beeldend, de problemen aanwijsbaarmaar de oplossingen zijn creatief.
Voor blazers bijzonder interessant door de bijzondere speelmanieren maar het slagwerk is ook bedeeld met een aantal 'special effects'.

Kevin Kangaroo - Het springerige karakterwordt door verschillende stemmen neergezet. De swingende speelstijl benadrukt de karakteristieke bewegingen van de kangoeroe. Let op de specifieke swingstijl. Heel goed te oefenen met toonladders.

Eddy Elephant - Voor sommigekleinere faunagenoten elke keer weer een beproeving maar voor Eduard (Eddy voor vrienden en intimi) is dit zijn dagelijkse wandelingetje. Giro 224544 t.b.v. de geleden schade.

Baldrick Bat - De vleermuis Baldrick is eenmysterieus type. Dat mysterieuze aspect wordt auditief weergegeven door het snel indrukken van ventielen en kleppen, ondersteund door slagwerkeffecten.

Curtis Camel - De kameel Curtis hobbelt verveeld door de woestijn.

Composed by Dmitri Kabalevsky (1904-1987). For piano. Format: piano solo book. With standard notation and fingerings. 20th Century and Russian. Series: Library of Russian-Soviet Music. 20 pages. 9x12 inches. Published by G. Schirmer, Inc.

SKU: CY.CC2766

Composed by Michael Eversden. Contemporary Jazz/Rock. Coil bound booklet. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2766).

Children the world over love 'playtime'. A welcome break from lessons, a time to burn some energy and have fun. A time to play some games!

Playgroun d Games is a collection of etudes for bass trombone portraying these traditional games and reflecting on the childrens' enjoyment. We can picture them jumping, playing Hopscotch, Leapfrog and 'Skipping' (the Double Dutch version of this popular game) and running around in the fast and furious Tag! More peaceful moments are to be found when you sense the concentration during Marbles and Cat's Cradle and an exciting contest is on during Conker Fight.

These entertaining pieces are in many genres and styles, keys and meters. Some etudes are funky and rhythmic, others dance-like with waltzes and a merry gigue. They are appropriate for intermediate to advanced performers.

The etudes evoke feelings for those on the playground today and for others, bringing back happy memories.
