WHAT IS THE "LIMITED OR FULL" BAND SERIES FROM C.DURIGG MUSIC?
Do you have intermediate or advanced students in a very small band program? Are your students ready for more intermediate or advanced band repertoire, yet the band’s limited instrumentation holds them back?
My "Limited or Full" series is geared toward the success of small bands with limited instrumentation. These pieces aim at giving small bands more advanced music within the framework of a "young band" arrangement. If you like the music, these pieces also sound great with a larger "full" instrumentation.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The joyful ringing of bells is often associated with the holiday season. This is a common theme running through Christmas Carol literature. Conceived as a fun, accessible overture for young bands or bands with limited instrumentation, A Celebration of Bells highlights two of the most beloved Christmas carols associated with bells. The piece begins with a joyful brass bell-tone fanfare accompanied by trilling woodwinds. The introduction gives way to mostly-unison woodwind rendition of I Heard the Bells On Christmas Day. The brass then further works out the melody with a more chordal presentation. The woodwinds present a short, light interlude, followed by an explosive snare drum and full-band chord one key higher than the beginning. The piece shifts to a Jingle Bells march. Following the march, the music modulates back down one key and returns to a full band, Maestoso version of I Heard the Bells. The overture comes to a close with a return to the familiar introductory bell tones. This piece is sure to be a festive hit for both your students and their audience!
