Product Description

This arrangement is perfect for most trumpet players with 2+ years of experience, but it would be fun to play as a filler for more advanced ensembles as well!

This version of our Canoe Song arrangement is scored for 6 trumpets.

This is a very fun and musically satisfying piece to play! With this piece, each voice gets to have a chance playing the melody as well as the fragments that serve as an accompaniment. The 2nd half of this piece includes a round of this tune in 5 layers, and its a lot of fun to play.

For younger players, it can be fun to sing the piece with the original words as its learned:

"My paddles keen and bright

Flashing with silver

Follow the wild goose flight

Dip, dip, and swing"

The accompanying lines can be sung as "Paddle, paddle" and "dip, dip, and swing".

Duration: 2 minutes
