11 | 6/20/2020 16:06:29 | When Summer's in the Meadow | Change of Pace | Second clarinet parts are low, students will need knowledge of pinky notes and how to alternate pinkies. Clarinets are entirely below the break the entire piece. | There is a beautiful trumpet solo with some countermelodies in the euphonium and trombones and horns. Other than those little features, the brass are low and long for most of this. | The percussion writing is very very sparse in this piece. It would require some delicate playing and concentration from your percussionists - but I do think it's important to do pieces like this. | While this piece is really accessible from the perspective of notes and rhythms, the key of concert Db will be challenging for students when the key change comes. There are also some dissonant harmonies that students may shy away from at first, but it's great to expose them to!

33 | 6/20/2020 16:07:08 | When Summer's in the Meadow | Change of Pace, Contest | The clarinets state "Oh Danny Boy" in unison toward the beginning of the piece - intonation here may get tricky. Flutes finish the melody line in their middle/low register which can cause some significant intonation problems. They won't be overwhelming but they will likely be flat. | Very lovely brass choir at the beginning with melody in horns (?) The low brass get to sink their teeth into some Granger-esque quarter note cords. The horns don't get much of break throughout this piece - rarely on the melody but great counter melodies and accompanying lines. Need endurance | Wind chimes are a lovely effect for O Danny Boy. Nice eighth notes in the bell part at the end - would need to handle it very delicately. | The chorale writing is gorgeous - can get tricky to tune, balance and shape. Sus Cymbal and crash help the drama at the climax of the piece before it speeds up slighty.

It's mostly dynamic swells and sometimes the melody on the glockenspiel. It'll tell you which mallets to use at different parts | Great opportunity to focus on dynamic swells It's a piece that looks easy, but that's deceiving.

58 | 6/20/2020 16:08:38 | When Summer's in the Meadow | Change of Pace | Not technically challenging, good for teaching phrasing. | Trumpet soli at measure 27. Measure 57 is uncommonly difficult for Grade 1+ french horns. | The percussion have long rests followed by exposed entrances. | Not technically challenging, good for teaching phrasing. Several tempo changes; uncommon for Grade 1+ literature. | 5 | Grapis, Christopher | |||||||||||||||||
59 | 6/20/2020 16:09:07 | When Summer's in the Meadow | Change of Pace | Terrific scalar 8th note passages in this piece in unison. Writing is done in a way that allows for the oboe to be heard. | The brass writing is mostly chordal for low brass, but trumpets and horns have beautiful soaring melodies in TERRIFIC ranges. Nothing seems too difficult. | This is pretty standard middle school band lyrical piece writing. Some mallet parts doubling melodic lines with a lot of suspended cymbal to fill in the gaps. Good to developing your players' touch and attention to detail with auxiliary. | This is a great piece for an advanced 7th grade or 8th grade band with good concepts of tone quality and pitch control. A moving and beautiful piece. | 8 | Gresham, Adam Gresham | |||||||||||||||||
60 | 6/20/2020 16:09:24 | When Summer's in the Meadow | lyrical selection | Clarinet parts are lower-only 2- would be good for a younger band, only 1 flute-oboe part, range is lower which will help with intonation | important horn parts that double with the alto saxophone part, trumpet and low brass parts are also lower in range which is helpful for a younger band-7th grade band, | Percussion parts are very light and help ensemble mainly with dynamics and impact moments | In Bb concert-great for a younger band, the tempo is faster for a lyrical style piece which would be good for a younger group performing their first piece in this style, lots of opportunity for expression | 10 | Chambless, Matthew | |||||||||||||||||
61 | 6/20/2020 16:10:06 | When Summer's in the Meadow | Change of Pace, Contest | Clarinets don't cross the break; long phrases especially for flutes (may need to stagger breathe) | Parts stay within a comfortable range | Simple percussion parts; however, there are many extended rests | Lyrical selection--a great piece to work on phrasing, balance, intonation, tempo changes | 8 | Overstreet, Monica | |||||||||||||||||
62 | 6/20/2020 18:06:47 | When Summer's in the Meadow | Change of Pace | Good combination of melody and harmony. | Long lines | Includes percussion with tympani, bells, sus cymbal, BD, snare, wind chimes | Lyrical piece based on Danny Boy Strong counter melodies Interesting movement in the bass line Tension resolution | 9 | Munk, David | |||||||||||||||||
