Description
Band concert band - Grade 2.5
SKU: KJ.WB331F
Composed by William Himes. Standard of Excellence: In Concert. Band, Repertoire. Score. Neil A. Kjos Music Company #WB331F. Published by Neil A. Kjos Music Company (KJ.WB331F).9 x 12 inches.
Brilliant, clever and brimming with excitement, another ingenious Himes masterpiece! The objective of Thingamajig is to create a whimsical contraption of sound in the same spirit as the late Rube Goldberg, which appeared as cartoons in the New York Evening Mail. It uses melodic and rhythmic patterns - with help of conventional and unconventional percussion as well as verbal effects from the band members - to convey a unique attempt at inventiveness. The enthused percussion section will use "instruments" such as a metal pipe, kitchen pans and a bicycle horn.
