Frosty The Snow Man
Everybody's favorite snow man will make a grand appearance at your next winter concert with this sparkling, yet easy arrangement. Perfectly scored to sound full with just about any band, "Frosty The Snow Man" is sure to be an audience favorite. Estimated Performance Time: 2:30 Technical Notes: The oboe, tenor sax and French horn parts are optional. The percussion part is for snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, and wood block. Teaching aids for the director: The style of the original version of this popular seasonal favorites is a lilting two-beat swing. Although the syncopation patterns have been "squared off" in this version, it can still retain that original style by playing the few eigth note patterns as swing rather than straight. A brief demonstration of the difference between the two patterns by the director (or a competent student) playing just the introduction should suffice. Stress the fact that this is a subtle stylistic trait in "swing" playing that should not carry over to careless interpretation in other styles of music. The bass part should be played slightly marcato throughout, except at measures 45-48 where they briefly have the bridge melody. This spot should be played more legato. A few parts (1st clarinet, 2nd cornet and baritone saxophone) have an enharmonic reminder- D sharp = E flat. Use this example for a lesson review on enharmonics for the entire band, if needed. The percussion part may be realized by one player on a drum set, or by three players - one on snare drum, one on bass drum and one on cymbals and wood block. Rehearse the snare drum at measures 5-8 and similar spots so the rhythmic figures are smooth and convincing. Composer(s): This piece was composed by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins. Arranger(s): This piece was arranged by John Edmondson. Publisher: This piece was published by Hal Leonard Corporation. Series: This piece is part of the series "Hal Leonard Discovery Band Series".
