With a nice minor mode sound and a propelling timpani line, TIDINGS OF JOY opens with God Rest You Merry, harmonized in drone fashion, then features a soli middle section of Pat-a-pan for which you "audition" the players who get to play this more difficult middle section (keeps your best players challenged!) while the rest of the band vocalize a single pitch on "ahh." The piece then recaps with God Rest You Merry with a slightly fuller instrumentation and a simple flute obligato line.
FEATURES: Melody opportunities for all wind parts; Multiple percussion parts give colorful sound; timpani provide bass ostinato; Students sing "ahh" on a single note - great for improving intonation!; Soli section in middle will motivate players to learn the part so they get to play the melody (keeps your better players challenged); Low brass parts are very simple.
RANGES: C minor (3 flats). Some Clarinets play low G and F (m. 14 and 48) - put your best players on these low notes and have rest play the comfortable notes of D and C.
CHALLENGES: Appropriate for young players who have encountered eighth-notes and the key of E-flat; Independence of lines (melody played with/against simple bass and accompaniment; simple flute obligato line in last section); Some slurs and eighth-notes; Key/few accidentals (mostly in flutes, oboe, clarinet, and trumpet); A few extended range notes for some parts.
