Eighth Note Publications Flexible Band/String Series is the ultimate in
flexibility with non standard instrumentation for ensembles with
incomplete instrumentation or odd combinations. These pieces are
playable by as few as 5 woodwind, brass or string players with or
without percussion. This creates the opportunity for a mixed quintet to
perform these titles but also allows for performance for 10-15 players
up to full a band/orchestra with parts doubling. Great for music camps,
contest use or any band room that has non standard instrumentation.
Something Modal is a laid back jump swing chart. The melodies and
backgrounds are very simple yet catchy. Every section gets an
opportunity to play something interesting and fun, but also contribute
to the overall feel of the piece. Chord changes are easy enough to open
up opportunities for players to practice and show off their improvising
abilities. (2:30)
