Canoe Song

This arrangement is perfect for most trumpet players with 2+ years of experience, but it would be fun to play as a filler for more advanced ensembles as well! This version of our Canoe Song arrangement is scored for 6 trumpets. This is a very fun and musically satisfying piece to play! With this piece, each voice gets to have a chance playing the melody as well as the fragments that serve as an accompaniment. The 2nd half of this piece includes a round of this tune in 5 layers, and it's a lot of fun to play. For younger players, it can be fun to sing the piece with the original words as it's learned: "My paddle's keen and bright Flashing with silver Follow the wild goose flight Dip, dip, and swing" The accompanying lines can be sung as "Paddle, paddle" and "dip, dip, and swing".
