NOTES TO THE CONDUCTOR ‘The opening phrases should be as mysterious as possible. Please note the divisi in the tuba sec- tion. ff your instrumentation does not allow for an effective divisi, suggest adding a synthesizer using a low string patch (General MIDI #49) and doubling the tuba line throughout. | have cued the piccolo solo in both the flute and the saxophone. Again, based upon your particular situa~ tion, | suggest exploring several options with the solo line. You may wish to double the piccolo with the saxophone to create a bagpipe effect. Also, you may wish to use a soprano saxophone (with the soloist transposing down a fifth from the notated alto saxophone solo). have scored this setting to feature the percussion section. | suggest staging the section in front Of the band and adding visual effects as time and abilities allow. Please note that the tom part in Percussion | should be played by at least two players. The spoon part (Percussion Il} should be doubled with a cabasa, with the exception of the solo. Please note that the timpani is used throughout as a very large Irish bodhran. In other words, the fixed pitch is intentional. This also allows for a very quick restaging as noted above. The percussion entrance beginning at measure 13 should build to the full band entrance at meas- ure 21. Following this crescendo, please adjust the notated dynamics to ensure balance between the percussion and winds. This could be an area of concern based upon the size of the percus- sion section. For rehearsal purposes, | suggest isolating individual rhythmic ostinati to ensure communication between the various lines. The winds should be very comfortable with the percussion groove in ‘order to perform their various polyrhythmic figures throughout. If you desire, the percussion feature beginning at measure 61 may be expanded an additional ‘eight measures. However, please ensure that the entrances are layered beginning with the spoon soloist. Finally, | suggest conducting in two during the full band statements at measures 53 and 69. This will allow the melodie statement in the brass section to soar while the percussion and wood- winds continue their very energetic lines. hope that “Celtic Carol” provides a wonderful experience for your percussion section, band, and audience.As always, wish you the best in your musical endeavors!
