This is an easy ensemble piece that has some interesting parts for more advanced players, but lots of simple parts for beginner musicians. All parts are doubled up to accommodate instruments in concert, B flat & E flat. This arrangement is simple, but very effective. It lasts for circa 3 minutes. You will be provided with a PDF file of the conductor score and all parts, as well as instrument parts. The Sibelius file is also provided for easy editing.
