By Sharon Wilson. By Antonio Vivaldi. Arranged by Sharon Wilson. Baroque,Children,Classical,Instructional,Standards. Score and parts. 7 pages. Sharon Wilson #3243831. Published by Sharon Wilson (A0.565035).

This "Allegro" from Vivaldi's "Spring: The Four Seasons" 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 2-page combined score with both parts on a grand staff plus a separate 1-page, 1-staff score for each instrument.

This set of scores uses colored noteheads corresponding to the Boomwhackers® color scheme. Handbells sold by "Rhythm Band" or "KidsPlay" also use this same color scheme (other brands may use different color schemes). Using color coded notes helps beginning musicians learn to read standard sheet music notation. This set of scores is also available (separate purchase) in black and white which will print clearer if you do not have access to a color printer.

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 (though the color coding may not match).

Notes used for each instrument are as follows:
Bells – C D E F G A C* 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®."
