Alex Shapiro: Paper Cut (Score Only): Concert Band: Score
This item is not available anymore with the seller Musicroom
Composer Alex Shapiro's piece Paper Cut is reminiscent of a movie soundtrack to which the musicians can imagine their own dramatic scene. Paper Cut is written to make the players themselves part of the action withchoreographed maneuvers that look as compelling as they sound. In fact the band members don't even play their instruments until halfway into the piece – instead they “play” paper along with a prerecorded track!The unusual element of paper and the myriad sounds that can emerge from something so simple offers a fresh view of what music-making can be and opens everyone's ears to the sonic possibilities found among everyday objects.Although Paper Cut was composed with middle schoolers in mind it's also suited to more advanced musicians since the paper techniques and the skill of playing against a prerecorded track are interesting for all ages.
