Mike Hannickel: The Great Highland Pipes: Concert Band: Score

Par HANNICKEL MIKE. Two melodies in the Scottish style meet head-on in this energetic new arrangement. Your students will love the “bagpipe sound” and rhythmic color of the Scottish “snap”. This arrangement can also be used with young bands as a lesson in the concept of counterpoint. Each of the two main themes is clearly stated on its own, but remarkable things happen when they are played together. Through skillful selection of themes and contrapuntal composition, Mike Hannickel does a masterful job of melding these contrasting songs into a unified and energetic adventure into the Highlands. Fun to play, and a great style study! / Niveau : 2.5 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

What a great way to feature that blossoming Trumpet soloist! The undeniably beautiful melody YE BANKS AND BRAES O’ BONNIE DOON is the foundation upon which this colorful and expressive Trumpet solo piece is crafted.A closer look at the orchestration of this classic Scottish air shows that the soloist is not the only one who gets to be expressive. Subtle contrapuntal motion and vividly contrasting colors resonate throughout. This arrangement is rich and deep.Let that soloist shine!
