Description
This version of In Search of Yeti by Kirk Vogel is part of our Alfred FLEX offerings and is designed with maximum flexibility for use by any mix of instruments---wind, strings, and percussion, including like- or mixed-ensembles with as few as 4 players. The suggested instrumentation and a customizable Teacher Map will help you plan out how to best assign parts to suit your ensemble's needs. The 4-part instrumentation will support balanced instrumentation of the lower voices. It also comes with supplemental parts for maximum flexibility. With the purchase of this piece, permission is granted to photocopy the parts as needed for your ensemble. A percussion accompaniment track is also available as a free download. String parts have been carefully edited with extra fingerings and appropriate bowings to support students in mixed ensembles playing in less familiar keys.

In Search of Yeti by Kirk Vogel is a colorful piece representing the search for Sasquatch, Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman, Voormi, or Yeti. Whatever the name, stories have persisted from the Arctic to the Himalayas of this ape-like creature. (2:35)

Daughter's band recently started learning this and said it would probably sound good if they weren't so bad at it, lol. She was not wrong.
