Bottom of the Ninths

The perfect way to delve into masterworks with young players in a fun context! All parts remain in first position in the key of D major, with no extended finger patterns. Melodies are passed to every section, featuring Take Me Out to the Ball Game; the opening theme from Schubert's Symphony No. 9; the famous Going Home theme from the middle of Dvorak's Symphony No. 9; and the Ode to Joy theme from Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, which is at the end, or the "bottom," of the Ninth.
