Difficulty Level: Medium-Easy, Grade 2-3

Style: Original Symphonic Music with Jazzy Moments

Percussion Music available for posted drumline

Originally commissioned by the Bishop Lynch H.S. Band, Dallas, TX – Andrew Balettie, Director.

This custom marching band arrangement features original music written for a small band with young players.  Using the pop song “I Fall Apart,” the show concept depicts the visual and music falling apart as the show progresses. We begin with a structured and boxy theme with a Baroque / Minimal feel, move to a  ballad featuring the pop song as things begin to soften and bend, then conclude with the music “falling apart” into mixed meters, uneven phrases, and even jazz elements!  This show features a solo electric violin to great effect.  It could be altered to feature a different soloist, allowing the younger wind players to do less while the soloist carries parts of the show.
