Reimagine Initiative
(Music reimagined for flexible ensembles with adaptable instrumentation)Originally designed to address the needs of small ensembles with exceptional instrumentation challenges, The Reimagine Initiative has grown into a series that not only offers great, functional music for ensembles of all sizes and instrumentation, but also includes a wealth of additional teaching opportunities that extend beyond performance.
- Adaptable Parts – All musicians have access to ALL parts of every piece. Playable with any combination of instruments!
- Alternate Parts – In addition to adaptable parts, tenor sax and horn have alternate parts putting them in an ideal range.
- Accompaniment – An easy piano part is provided for additional support. When appropriate, chords are included for guitar players.
- Play Along – Downloadable mp3 tracks are included for students to practice with and even use in performance or at home.
- Percussion – In addition to adaptable mallet parts, separate percussion parts are also provided.
- Teaching Opportunities Far Beyond Performance – Let students make choices about orchestration, flip your band so bass voices always have the melody, teach the same musical line to everyone at the same time…. endless possibilities!
