Upbeat Band is a series of arrangements for school band or orchestra. The arrangements, by Jon Raybould, are all FUN to play and FUN to listen to. They are flexibly scored, with the particular problems and limitations unique to school bands as a prime consideration. They’re great as concert-fillers!
Above - extract of William Tell Goes POP! Full score. Notice the drum and bass guitar parts,
and carefully graded instrumental parts.
Three arrangements currently available:
RAGTIME SWING
A lively piece with a jazzy SWING feel. Your young musicians will love playing the syncopated rhythms!
RAZZLE DAZZLE
Another jazzy piece guaranteed to get the audience tapping their feet along to the catchy and infectious rhythms.
WILLIAM TELL GOES POP!
Everyone knows the main theme of the William Tell Overture by Rossini. It’s a hard piece to play - but this simplified and jazzed-up arrangement will be a hit with your band. With added bass and drums (as in all the UPBEAT BAND arrangements), it’s guaranteed to add a touch of humour to your next school concert.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
Each UPBEAT BAND arrangement comes with :
• Wire-bound Full Score
• Set of fully PHOTOCOPIABLE parts
• Audio CD featuring REHEARSAL and PERFORMANCE tracks (rehearsal tracks include SLOW piano/bass/drums versions so your band can rehearse along to it; performance tracks include BASS GUITAR and DRUMS only, so you band can perform to the CD if there’s no bassist or drummer).
SPECIAL FREE OFFER!
For a limited time, those purchasing any UPBEAT BAND arrangement will receive, on CD, the SIBELIUS FILES (v.2 and v.3) of each arrangement. This means that music teachers with Sibelius can:
• Play the arrangements at any tempo
• Transpose the score if required
• Re-arrange the whole score or parts of the score
• Use the files as a basis for a GCSE or A-level project (ie here’s the piano part - arrange this piece for a wind quintet)
