Description
This version of Rock Solid by Scott Watson 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.
Scott Watson's original composition features a moderate rock feel and gritty, dissonant harmonies that combine to portray the sound of industry---work gangs laboring with machinery whirring, clanging, grinding, and banging, along with several vocal shouts from the band and a factory whistle! (4:00)

Me and my concert band played this for our winter concert. It was my favorite piece of the 3 we played

I played this song on the violin maybe a year or two ago and I looked it up and it completely reminded me of how embarrassed I was when two of the violins (me included) came in a whole measure early 😭

I played this at my school Youth Day concert, and playing as a French Horn this piece is so fun but at the concert I messed up but luckily bar 27 I played loud and proud and the ending was amazing

This song is so fun to play on trombone except for the 16th notes—

I played this for my all-region

I played this song in my 7th grade band concert and it's great. (We were meant to play it in 6th grade but the band director said "I think you guys would be more happy with two good pieces instead of 3 mediocre pieces so I'm cutting this song.") This song haunts me 🙃
