Merrymakers: A Festivity for Concert Band

• Adler, Samuel

MERRYMAKERS is a short happy band piece written specifically for the Alpha Concert Band Series of Ludwig Music Publishing Company. It is in the form of a miniature French Overture in which the characteristic dotted rhythms are very important. These rhythms appear in the opening slow section, in the fast “merry” section using new material, and also at measure 71 a reworking of the thematic gestures of the opening. MERRYMAKERS is about three and a half minutes long and can be used to open a program as well as to close one.
