SKU: A0.1308228
Composed by Antonio Vivaldi. Arranged by Cheryl (Sutton) Baker - Bronze:FX. Baroque,Chamber,Classical,Wedding. Score. 6 pages. Bronze:FX #897457. Published by Bronze:FX (A0.1308228).This delightful arrangement of the first movement of "The Spring" is perfect for any energetic moment, regardless of season. Its charm comes from its quick tempo and dynamic contrasts, complete with the sounds of the spring season (perhaps add a bird whistle, rainstick, props, poem, or a nature slide show).
The arrangement is for 4, 5, or 6 ringers using two or three octaves of handbells (or handchimes). Complete assignments and performance notes are enclosed, and the piece is Level 3 when played with six ringers. This piece may also be performed by four- or six-in-hand ensembles without tables.
The piece is in rondeau form, which means that it has a recurring theme (similar to a refrain) and verses that extremely differ from one another. Rondeau form is usually explained by letters, where A equals the recurring theme, and each other letter like B or C indicate completely differing verses. The form then looks like this: ABACADAE etcetera. Because of its consistency, both audience and performers alike will look forward to the next time that the A theme appears.
Performance time:
• 3 minutes.
