By Sharon Wilson. By Antonin Dvorak. Arranged by Sharon Wilson. Children,Classical,Instructional,Romantic Period,Standards. Score and parts. 10 pages. Sharon Wilson #3243799. Published by Sharon Wilson (A0.565026).

This "Largo" from Dvořák's "New World Symphony" is notated for 8-note (one octave, C major diatonic scale) instruments with Handbells on one staff and Boomwhackers® on a second staff creating an instrumental ensemble (requires one set of each instrument). Included in this set of scores is a 3-page combined score with both parts on a grand staff plus a separate 2-page, 1-staff score for each instrument.

This set of scores uses black and white noteheads and is best suited for musicians already familiar with reading standard music notation. For beginning musicians, this same set of scores is available (sold separately) with color coded noteheads.

Though this sheet music is notated for Handbells and Boomwhackers®, this arrangement is playable by any 8-note, C major diatonic scale (one octave) instrument such as a xylophone or glockenspiel.

Notes used for each instrument are as follows:
Bells – C D E G A BC* where C* is one octave above middle C  
Boomwhackers® – all 8 ~ C D E F G A B C*

The number of ringers and whackers needed will vary depending on the skill level of the participants. For more advanced players, each person could be assigned two notes for a total group size of 7 players. For beginners, it is best to assign one note to each person. At one note per person, a group of 15 players would be required. Note assignment suggestions are included.

Other suggestions and uses:
*
have both parts played by bells or both parts played using only Boomwhackers®
* form a choir using multiple sets of bells and/or Boomwhackers® (this would amplify the sound and allow more people to participate)
* use as part of the music education for children at school, home, or church:
* these colorful, inexpensive instruments can be enjoyed by all ages and add a fun, unique element to activities and programs: senior centers, family reunions, church retreats, home school groups, just to name a few:

Permission is granted to make up to 10 copies of each score. For more than 10 copies, please purchase additional sets.

This song is one of ten in the collection "Ten Classical Favorites for 8-note Bells and Boomwhackers®."
