Cute, fun, and a true grade 1 bass feature! What more could you want? Encourage the bass players by showing them off. The bass parts are very simple, but the basses also play jingle bells in a surprise twist at the end of the piece. Brainstorm ideas to dress this piece up. Some suggestions are to put Santa hats on the bass players or the scroll of the basses. You could even put Christmas lights or stockings on the bass or stands. Bring the bass players up front. Have some bells on each bass stand where the audience can't see them. Then, when the time is right, the bassists pull out the bells and jingle away! Correlates to Sound Innovations Book 1, Level 3.

Experie nce the sounds of the American West like you've never heard them before! Inspired by music from the great cowboy movies of the late 1960s, this powerful composition uses a large battery of percussion to bring this important part of Americana right into your own concert hall. A lush middle section uses beautiful scoring and haunting melodies before the piece returns to a new treatment of the opening material, building toward a powerful conclusion. Great music for young bands!

Appro priate for middle school and smaller high school groups. Second clarinets usually stay below the break. Parts are written with more independence, and instrumentation increases slightly. There is still adequate doubling in the lower voices. Grades 2 - 2.5
