Part of Maecenas Music's "Genesis" series, which provides original music by quality composers in a variety of styles for beginner bands, which even the least experienced or technically accomplished can perform. Nothing is above grade 3; much is considerably easier and scored so that novices can make a valuable contribution. No arrangements, no transcriptions, no excerpts, only complete original compositions with genuine musical content conceived specially for the series.
Memorable tunes, robust, colourful scoring and a satisfying structure are the features of this brief and cheerful concert march in the great tradition. Binney’s masterly scoring allows directors to combine upper middle, tenor and bottom-end instrumental voices from almost any available assortment of players. Everything is covered and everyone has something worth playing, often in a choice of clef.
INSTRUMENTATION The emphasis is on practicality and flexibility. Extensive cross cueing, musically sensitive doubling of instrumental lines and generous quantities of parts in sets will allow players in almost any combination, numbers and ability range to share a real musical experience, both in rehearsal and in concert. Grade 2.
