Fire & Fury - David Shaffer - Full Score

David Shaffer provides this excellent teaching tool which focuses entirely on pizzicato technique. Written as a march this piece is perfect for changing the pace of your concert and even includes some optional percussion to enhance the overall effect. Very easy and sure to be a delight.

David Shaffer cleverly combines swing and straight playing in this novel arrangement of Joshua Fit de Battle of Jericho. Players immediately get into the groove by snapping their fingers on the offbeats. A pizzicato treatment of the melody progressively builds until the whole ensemble is using a full bow. Everyone gets melodic material and the audience is sure to chuckle with the sudden pizzicato …

As the title implies here is an exciting and powerful composition for very young players. Written in minor and using a single tempo throughout this piece provides nice feature spots for your horns/saxes as well as trumpets. Theclarinet parts are all written below the break and these players will enjoy the menacing-sounding trills. (Grade 1.5)

A delicate opening moves into a frenzy of woodwind activity over powerful brass fanfares. After a brief lyrical section the piece resumes its fire erupting in celebration as it catapults toward its heroic ending! Includes CD of performance.

This novel work opens up with pizzicato in all instruments. The ?high tension? atmosphere gives way to an easy-going tune with a syncopated melody to help lighten things up. This one is sure to stick with your audience long after the piece is over. Optional temple blocks and ratchet add to the fun. A great change of pace for your next program! (1:20)

Jingle Bells with a western flair? You bet! The parallel fourths in the first measure immediately signal the beginning of this holiday hoedown. An inventive middle section gives a select group of students (or the entire orchestra!) the opportunity to call the square dance. Exciting and entertaining on every level it’s time to Swing ol’ Santa ‘round and ‘round!
