- Description
- Score and Full Set Of 7 Parts
This well known tune has been arranged in 7 parts for the younger Orff performers. The tune is played twice through with Sop Glock and Alto Met both playing the melody and Alto Glock providing the harmony. The Bass Xylo provides a simple bass line for the first verse with the variation for the second verse giving the arrangement a sense of motion. Marimba or Bass Met could be substituted for the Bass Xylo.
Sop Xylo and Alto Xylo parts both have glissandi, with Alto Xylo playing the glissandi in the first verse and Sop Xylo playing the glissandi in the second verse. The simple rhythmic beat of the Tambourine part helps convey the motion of the bus wheels. Tempo and dynamic markings are suggested ones only.
