Matinata I & II by Kathleen Wissinger 5-Octaves - Sheet Music

SKU: JF.MRE230312

"Split-Level" pieces for Level 1 and 2 ringers - Just what you've been waiting for! The innovative "Split-Level Series" features Level 2 pieces with specific Level 1 positions, to seamlessly integrate new or beginning ringers into an established group; also useful for multiple-grade ensembles in schools and multi-level Festivals. Please note: Morning Song A&B (RE2302AB) is the same tune as Matinata I, II & III but is set in different keys – so neither Morning Song A nor Morning Song B are compatible with any Matinata settings. All three Matinata settings ARE compatible. "Split-Level" pieces for Level 1 and 2 ringers - Just what you've been waiting for! Matinata's sprightly melody centers on a core of 5 or 9 L2 ringers using 8th notes, while the L1 positions (from zero to 6 ringers in Matinata I - and 2 ringers in Matinata II) invite newer ringers to confidently play with simpler chords and quarter notes. Offered in 2 compatible settings for 3-5 octaves to allow flexible assigning of your L1 ringers to select the best range for them. (Matinata III (RE30023), a separate version with all L2 positions, is also compatible with Matinata I and II.) A variety of techniques are used in appropriate ranges, and a Unison Exercise sheet is included to prepare your ringers for the rhythms and techniques used in the piece. Of special note: All 8th note pairs in Matinata are rung by individual ringers, making the 8th notes much easier to count and ring.
