Shepherd's Hey for Flexible Ensemble GR1 SC/PTS by Patrick Roszell

This version of Shepherd's Hey by Partick Roszell is part of our Belwin FLEX offerings and is designed with maximum flexibility for use by any mix of instruments---wind, strings, and percussion, including like- or mixed-ensembles with as few as 5 players. The suggested instrumentation and a customizable Teacher Map will help you plan out how to best assign parts to suit your ensemble's needs. It also comes with supplemental parts for maximum flexibility. With the purchase of this piece, permission is granted to photocopy the parts as needed for your ensemble. A percussion accompaniment track is also available as a free download. String parts have been carefully edited with extra fingerings and appropriate bowings to support students in mixed ensembles playing in less familiar keys.

This very familiar traditional British folk song scored for Belwin's FLEX series, with a simple melodic statement. The arrangement by Partick Roszell builds in intensity and tempo through the final musical punctuation. Subtle intricacies are clearly demonstrated with the addition of characteristic counter melodic material. A solid choice, your band will sound polished and professional! (1:45)
