Every symphonic orchestra has this masterpiece in its repertoire – now school and amateur orchestras can also experience the fascinating sounds of Maurice Ravel's Boléro. With the new simplified version from Music Publishing House Andrea Wiegand, it is almost child's play to make alive the memorable rhythms and unforgettable melodies of this modern classic!
Against the background of the famous Obsinato with the snare drum, the other instruments participate in a variety of combinations. Thanks to clever formal modifications, the complexity of Ravel’s crescendo for a large orchestra is retained.
In addition to the strings, four woodwinds resp. brass can be added. If desired, the parts can be divided between two musicians. The following instruments are envisioned; flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon as well as trumpets, trombones (french horn) and tuba. A snare drum is required, while a piano may be used. The piece acquires additional strengths and dynamism from timpani, bass drum, cymbals, triangle and glockenspiel. Other alterative parts (such as for saxophone) are available during the introductory period (until 31.01.2009) are available for free download and give more flexibility in setting up the orchestra.
The degree of difficulty for wind instruments is easy to moderate; the strings parts are simplified so that only 1st violin and cello must vary positions. The viola can be replaced by a 3rd violin. We also thought of the youngest students. An easy-to-understand teaching plan facilitates learning the characteristic rhythms of both themes in a step-by-step fashion. In addition, we once again offer our popular personalized copy permission; it makes it possible for you to quickly provide all members of your orchestra with their own set of notes in an uncomplicated way.
