Three Folk Miniatures (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Fraser, Bruce

Three Folk Miniatures (Good Mornin' to Ye; Shepherd Song; When the Sun Shines) reflect the style of old English folk songs offering young players the opportunity to show off several acquired skills in performance.Titles in the Prelude Series are specifically scored for bands with few, if any, bass instruments but will sound well on larger ensembles. The bass line is playable by any combination of bass clarinet, bassoon, baritone saxophone, trombone, euphonium or tuba; in the event that none of these is available, the part for trombone/euphonium (B flat TC) can be played by tenor saxophone. The tuned percussion part is entirely optional and can be played by any available instrument(s). Each piece also includes a preliminary exercise. This is always in the same key as the accompanying piece and consists of a scale and chord progression that can be used for improving ensemble, balance, intonation and instrumental facility by changing tempo, articulation and dynamics.Duration: 2:20
