In The Valley of Magic By Randy Navarre, Grade 1.
This composition is ideal for the first concert. It is very easy to play with only a few eighth notes in the whole arrangement. The 1st clarinets play the lower notes, the 2nd clarinets play the easy middle range. This helps the 1st clarinet players develop a good hand position so it will be easier to cross the break (no clarinet crosses the break in this song). The trumpet moves scale wise up to C, 3rd space, forcing them to play louder and have more air support. The rhythms are very easy, but they must count in the middle section to keep from playing an unexpected solo. This is a very pretty song. ($42)
