Silver Lake Sleighride

A delicate opening with flutes, oboe, bells and sleigh bells sets the mood for a fun-filled musical sleighride! A clarinet melody is joined by cornets and horns and then repeats with low brass syncopated counterlines. An effective woodblock part suggests horses trotting and the addition of hand claps in the cornet section adds an element of fun before the last restatement of the melody. A fantastic selection for your next winter concert! (Grade 1 1/2)
