Tipplers Revel (XCIX Utres Cervisiae in Muro and other bacchanalian airs)

Brass Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1093770 Composed by F. Leslie Smith. Folk,Holiday,Traditional. Score and parts. 57 pages. Sweetwater Brass Press #697853. Published by Sweetwater Brass Press (A0.1093770). Â Â Â Â The dictionary defines revel as â€œa time or instance of carefree fun.â€ The verb tipple refers to the imbibing of spirits. A tippler is one who drinks beer, wine, whiskey or other such spirituous liquids. So a tipplers revel would be a gathering of folks who, in the words of Dolly Partonâ€™s â€œTwo Doors Down,â€ are â€œlaughing and drinking and having a party.â€ Â Â Â Â This Tipplers Revel is a compilation of traditional drinking songs. It begins and ends with that bane of school trips, faculty sponsors, bus drivers and chaperones, â€œ99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.â€ And between those two bookends come â€œRye Whiskey,â€ â€œLittle Brown Jug,â€ â€œLandlord, Fill the Flowing Bowl,â€ â€œJimmy Crack Corn,â€ â€œBeer, Beer, Beer (An Ode to Charlie Mops, The Man Who Invented Beer),â€ â€œHot Time in the Old Town Tonight,â€ â€œWein, Weib und Gesang [Wine, Woman, and Song],â€ â€œDrink to Me Only with Thine Eyes,â€ â€œThere Is a Tavern in the Town,â€ â€œGood Night, Ladies,â€ â€œHow Dry I Am,â€ and brief quotes from about a half dozen other melodies associated with quaffing. Â Â Â Â For the most part, this arrangementâ€™s time signature is 4/4 and should be played at about 120 BPM. There are, however, two sections of 3/4 time, one of which is marked â€œtempo di valse,â€ and the opening and ending few measures should be played rather slowly. Â Â Â Â The music should be well within the normal range of the group. Possible exceptions: trumpets play their A above the staff a couple of times. Â Â Â Â There are quite a few 16th notes in the allegro sections. (And one could make the argument that at least two sections ought to have been written in 6/8 time. But they werenâ€™t.) Â Â Â Â Completed in 2022, performance time runs about 6 minutes, 43 seconds. The arranger, Les Smith, will be happy to provide substitute parts (for example, treble clef baritone for trombone) at no charge. He would like to receive your suggestions, comments, corrections and criticisms.
