This is an arrangement for
marimba band of "The
Fairy Festival." The
original piece is for piano
and works well with call and
response. We also added some
color with wind chimes and an
ocean drum. Thank you BoRa Sar
for your kind permission to
use the piece.

This piece for 2 tubas is
based on Azucena’s alto aria
from Giuseppe Verdi’s opera
“Il Trovatore.” I always
liked the theme since we
studied it in music literature
class in 1990.
Special thanks to Dave Kirk
for editing and reading
through the music with his
students.

Variations on the traditional
English street cry, "Hot
Cross Buns." Enjoy the
music and be creative with
your form. On this recording,
we return to the theme after
each variation. It creates a
type of rondo form.
