PARTS
BROWN Pageant of the Seas (Movements 1, 4 and 5 ONLY)
This piece really needs three players, but we only have two! I think we can make it work
in this way:
Movement 1 - one player does SD (player 1 part) and Glock (player 3 part)
the other does Tam-tam (player 3 part) and Susp.Cym (player 2 part).
Movement 4 - one player does Tambourine (player 3 part)
the other does Toms, Hi-hat and Kick Bass as a drumkit (my composite part)
Movement 5 - one player does SD (player 1 part)
the other does Tenor Drum (player 2 part) and Susp.Cym (player 3 part)
I will try to create a single part for Movt.1 Tam-Tam and Susp.Cym and for Movt.5
Tenor Drum and Susp.Cym by Sunday!
Brown Pageant of the Seas Percussion 1
Brown Pageant of the Seas Percussion 2
Brown Pageant of the Seas Percussion 3
Brown Pageant 4th Movement Tambourine
Brown Pageant 4th Movement Drumkit
KLEINSINGER Tubby the Tuba
Apologies that the part is just too big for my scanner, so a few notes are missing!
This divides as follows:
Player 1 - Xylo and Wood Block
Player 2 - Temple Blocks, Side Drum and Clash Cymbals
Kleinsinger Tubby the Tuba (Percussion Part)
SAINT-SAENS Carnival of the Animals
Horrible arrangement!
This divides as follows:
Player 1 - BD (except at the very end), Triangle, Wood Block, Guiro, Claves, Susp.Cym, Triangle
Player 2 - Glock, Clash Cymbals, Temple Blocks, BD (at the very end)
Saint-Saens Carnival of the Animals (Percussion Part)
OFFENBACH Overture 'Orpheus in the Underworld'
Apologies once again that the parts are too big for my scanner. I am also pretty
sure that there is misprint, in that the first time bar before fig.259 should be
two bars long, not one - waiting for clarification from Adrian on this.
This divides as follows:
Player 1 - BD
Player 2 - Clash Cymbals
Player 1 OR Player 2 - Triangle
Offenbach Orpheus in the Underworld Overture (Tri and BD/Cym parts)
You can decide between yourselves who plays what
