Rhythm and Melody

• Instrumentation: 5 parts and percussion
• Duration: Ca. 3,15 min.

This smooth piece of music for student orchestra begins in the first part with a challenge for the wind section. In 5 groups they will clap the differently notated “RHYTHM” together with drums and percussion. During the second part, they pick up the instrument to play the “MELODY” accompanied by the drums and percussionists. Do you have few percussionists in your orchestra? No problem! You can also play it with just the drummer.
