So Much Fun to Play!
Playing Michael Brown's "Betelehemu" with my community band was an absolute joy! The Grade 2 difficulty level was just right for an adult learner like me – challenging enough to be rewarding, but totally achievable. I loved the journey from the beautiful slow melody to the lively, rhythmic celebration. It adds such a vibrant, international feel to our Christmas concert!

Masterful Ensemble Writing
As an ensemble director, I appreciate the thoughtful voicing in this "Betelehemu" arrangement. Michael Brown skillfully balances the melodic lines and rhythmic accompaniment, making the Grade 2 level sound substantial. The textural shifts, from the initial pulse to the full band's exuberant refrains, provide excellent teaching moments for blend and balance, truly supporting each section's contribution.

Excellent for Developing Bands!
This Grade 2 arrangement of "Betelehemu" by Michael Brown is a fantastic addition to our concert band repertoire. The clear engraving makes parts easy to read for students, and the contrasting slow melodic section and faster, rhythmic African drumming segment are perfect for teaching dynamic control and diverse rhythmic patterns. It's truly an engaging piece that fosters musicality.
