Orff instruments Orff instruments - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1296166 Composed by Jeff Henson. Multicultural,World. 14 pages. Playground Music Press #886411. Published by Playground Music Press (A0.1296166). Serengeti is a lively original work for Orff instruments and percussion inspired by African style marimba music in 12/8 meter and uses three against two African polyrhythms. Serengeti can be performed as written, or instrument entrances can be re-ordered to create a unique version for your students or ensemble. Instrumentation can be adjusted or enhanced to match what you have available, and parts are written to accommodate students with varying mallet percussion experience. Extend the length of Serengeti by inserting a non-pitched instrument “jam” in the middle of the piece, or create choreographed movement. The spirit of the music captures the animal life that inhabits the Serengeti. Students can use their imagination to select the animal that represents their instrument part. In concert, apply that visualization by describing to the audience how each instrument part represents the diverse variety of animals that live on the Serengeti to create a “harmony of life”. Features:• Full and condensed printable scores.• Printable full and condensed instrument parts.• Visual performance grid matching the full performance recording.• Audio listening tracks representing various performance formats and includes slower tempo practice tracks for soprano xylophone parts.• Instrument parts are written with varied skill levels to match the needs of differentiated instruction.• Includes optional one-part or two-part recorder.• Includes optional bass guitar and simplified drum set parts.• Detailed teacher's guide with link to additional resources.• Directions to help simplify instruction, reduce rehearsal time, and build musicianship through teaching instrument part relationships.• Instrument “notes used” bar visuals in both PDF and JPG formats.• Flexible instrumentation, with suggestions for instrument part additions, omissions and substitutions.• Suggestions for incorporating world drumming, creating movement, improvising, and adding sound effects and more.INSTRUMENTATION:Soprano Xylophone 1 and 2 (SX1 and SX2)Alto Xylophone 1 and 2 (AX1 and AX 2)Bass Xylophone (BX)Contrabass Bars (CBX) - optionalMaracas or ShakereAfrican Clave or standard ClavesAgogo Ball or medium Gankogui bellLow Conga or TubanoBody Percussion (hand claps)2-part Recorder (optional).
