Island Breeze
Publisher Desc.
Island Beeze is a light and fun piece for beginning band. Using only
basic combinations of quarter and eighth notes, this piece is quite
achievable by young players. The melodies and harmonies give a very island
sound and the percussion really sells the fun. Island Breeze utilizes cabasa,
claves, maracas, and congas--all common instruments found in band rooms. If
needed, substitue instruments (i.e. tom drums instead of congas). Every
section gets to play melodic passages, including the low brass. There is also
a short percussion break with clapping to change things up a bit. Note: there
is only one dynamic written at the beginning. If the performing ensemble is
ready for more, add some! This piece would be a great addition to brighten up
a young band concert!
