This version of Air Force One by Chris M. Bernotas 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 5 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 5-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.

Air Force One evokes the proud spirit that is symbolized by the Presidential aircraft. With its rhythmic drive and uplifting melody, this will quickly become a favorite of your students and audience alike. Now scored in a 5-part FLEX format, this piece has engaging rhythms, memorable melodies, and exciting percussion parts!
