Joyous!

All about rising scales and major modes, Joyous! reminds us to be happy. Being happy in rough situations can be difcult, but can be attained, even slighty. That slight happiness in the hardest times is what makes situations even better. Joy can be shared across several different people, represented by many musical factors, such as: - The major mode - Ode to Joy melody - Different sections sharing a melody but playing at different times - Sharing music with all of our friends. This piece is meant to inspire happiness. Feel free to smile, cheer, and have a fun time watching and listening music being performed! Educational goals - Polyphony (Finding different melodies stacked on top of each other) - Playing between choirs - Comfortability with the Bb major scale - Rhythm (difference between quarter and 8th notes)
