Arranged by Dan Heslink. Christian,Christmas,Jazz,Latin,World. Score and parts. 26 pages. Pharaoh Publications #4967165. Published by Pharaoh Publications (A0.935376).Variation on Green Sleeves for percussion ensemble arr. by Dan Heslink
This most ancient and loved British folksong can be found in hundreds of arrangements, but imagine it’s setting for percussion ensemble, or as a Caribbean salsa, or as an American jazz selection. All of these styles are explored with this extremely popular tune.
This if one of two arrangements of Green Sleeves by Dan Heslink, both of which are available through Sheet Music Plus. The other arrangement, for marimba trio, follows similar musical contours and is available separately.
The required instruments are distributed between five performers: marimba, vibraphone, bass marimba, crotales (or orchestra bells), triangle, suspended cymbal, conga and tumbadora, guiro, temple blocks, field drum, tamtam and drum set. It’s demands are at the intermediate level, and it requires a strong drum set player. The key to drum set notation occurs in the part.
This work will serve any concert or recital very well. It also brings the melody’s seasonal associations, for it is the tune to which the words "What Child Is This" is set. Audiences and performers will enjoy its modal cast and high variety of expressive content, ranging from evocative pastoral folksong, to rhythmic Latin dance and to the swinging climax.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
