These ensembles are written for flexible instrumentation and personnel, where 3-5 main “voices” are scored for common instruments found in most band rooms. As long as at least one player covers each voice, the piece is able to be performed. Additional players may cover other suggested instruments within those voices, or they can fill in any of the optional melodic or rhythmic parts provided for added color!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003eEach piece is geared towards middle school or early high school players in difficulty, and would also be appropriate for college methods courses. The flexible, commonly-available instrumentation allows for a high degree of customization, and the director is trusted to make whichever choices fit their ensemble best. This collection is an invaluable resource for band or percussion directors working with any number of beginner-intermediate students, and is a must-have for any music library!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo Accident\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e | 4-18+ players | 1'45\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGymnopédie no. 1 (Satie)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e | 2-15+ players | 2'10\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eParvulum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e | 4-17+ players | 1'40\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWater Plant Road\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e | 4-16+ players | 1'50\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRainbow Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e | 5-16+ players | 2'20\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e6th Street Stomp\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e | 4-14+ players | 1'30\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAttack of the Beebots\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e | 4-8+ players | 1'35\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOld Town\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e | 3-9+ players | 1'20\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFlats \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e| 3+ players | 1'35\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePaper or Plastic?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e | 4+ players | 2'10\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Flexible Ensemble\u003c\/strong\u003e ships as a fully-bound book with a sleek cover design, with reference recordings for different ensemble sizes available for download.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/tapspace\/docs\/the_flexible_ensemble-sample?fr=sZmZjMTQ3NzQwNDM\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/2973\/7494\/files\/download_score_sample_small_aa1b4422-f724-4b42-9953-49885710a3e6.png\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ciframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"320\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/1423539445\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_artwork=false\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ciframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aA6Sb_nih3w\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tapspace Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43949804060950,"sku":"TSPB-53","price":102.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/2973\/7494\/products\/51998768149_5167604b8e_o.jpg?v=1672679623","url":"https:\/\/concertandmarchingmusic.com\/es\/products\/the-flexible-ensemble","provider":"Concert \u0026 Marching Music ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
