SUGGESTED INSTRUMENTATION The following suggested instrumentation list is provided below, divided into the five parts each of these instruments has been assigned. Any combination of instruments at your discretion, as long as they each fulfill the five different parts, can be used to perform this work. Additional instrumental parts fulfilling another role are available upon request (ex: Bass Clarinet on Part IV instead of V). Experimentation with this piece's orchestration is highly recommeded. Use what available resources you have and get creative with color and texture (example: if you have an Electric Bass, or even an electric string quartet or quintet, use it! Go wild!). These experimentations can be used as a learning tool for your rehearsals and performances in how color and texture can change with even the smallest difference in orchestration (example: have the flutes play a melodic passage alone, then another high group of voices such as clarinet and/or soprano saxophone if available. What are the differences in timbre? Does it affect the mood or emotion of the piece? How, if so?). To that end, this version of the piece can be used as an endless sea of experimentation and creative possibilities for you and your students, no matter what the performance situation or instrumentation may be. PART I Piccolo 1 Flute 1+2 Oboe 1 E-flat Clarinet B-flat Clarinet 1 Soprano Saxophone B-flat Trumpet 1 Violin 1 (optional) PART II Piccolo 2 Flute 3+4 Oboe 2 B-flat Clarinet 2 Alto Saxophone 1 B-flat Trumpet 2 Violin 2 (optional) PART III B-flat Clarinet 3 Alto Saxophone 2 Horn 1 B-flat Trumpet 3 Violin 3 (optional) Viola (optional) PART IV English Horn Bassoon 1 Tenor Saxophone Horn 2 Trombone 1 Euphonium 1 Violoncello (optional) PART V Bassoon 2 Contrabassoon Bass Clarinet Contrabass Clarinet Baritone Saxophone Bass Saxophone Trombone 2 Bass Trombone Euphonium 2 Tuba Bass Guitar Double Bass (optional) ADDITIONAL INSTRUMENTS IF AVAILABLE Piano Keyboard Synthesizer 1+2 PERCUSSION LIST All percussion is entirely optional. If parts can be assigned, preference should be given to timpani and auxiliary percussion. Timpani, Crotales, Vibraphone, Tenor Drum, Low Tom, Crash Cymbals, Wind Chimes, Snare Drum, Chimes, Suspended Cymbal, Bass Drum -A Keyboard Synthesizer can also cover any of the mallet parts at your discretion - again, get creative and experiment as much as possible! -For the tenor drum, the composer calls for a field drum with snares off to be used. If this is unavailable, a similarly-pitched medium tom-tom may be substituted. BACKING TRACKS FOR THE PERCUSSION/ADDITIONAL INSTRUMENTS, AND CLICK TRACKS, ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU USE THEM FOR YOUR PERFORMANCE IF UNABLE TO ASSIGN THE PERCUSSION AND ADDITIONAL INSTRUMENTS.
PERFORMANCE NOTES -References are given in the five parts for octave transpositions (optional or otherwise) and solo passages (if any of the parts can be doubled). -STRINGS (if used): If the parts are doubled, follow all guidelines, as written and at your discretion. If one player is used, the top line of every div. passage if preferred. Use double stops and triple stops wherever possible. Bowings should be determined by conductor and concertmaster before rehearsals and performance (ex: all slurred passages are phrase markings indicated to match the five parts exactly).
