Masquerade: Full Orchestra, Ensemble Works, CS (EDWIN F KALMUS)

The director will find this Grade 1 waltz to be particularly useful in introducing young players to their first orchestral experience, for MASQUERADE is free of formidable technical challenges or complicated rhythms. All parts are simple and straightforward. Of particular interest is that the 2nd Clarinet does not go above the "break," the Violin part moves essentially scale-wise, and the Horn parts are melodic (non-"oompah") in nature. Even with limited instrumentation, this orchestration will offer big sound. Instrumentation: 1.1.2.1: 2Sax(AT): 1.2.2-3**.1: Perc(3-4): Pno: Str (14.3*.7.6.5** in set): CS in set: *Opt. Use only to reinforce the Viola part. **Bs/Tbn3 the same.
