Product Description

The melody passes seamlessly from instrument to instrument in this audience-pleaser. But its the trombone and tuba that primarily echo the nature of the composition and its ursine subject matter. This version of "Teddy Bears Picnic" is designed to fit anywhere in the brass quintet repertoire, but it can also enhance a childrens concert. Conforming to the opening stanza of the songs lyrics-"If you go down in the woods today, youd better go in disguise"-this arrangement is framed by a somewhat mysterious-sounding ostinato, so it fits into a Halloween performance as well.

Completed in 2014, this version of "Teddy Bears Picnic" runs about 3 minutes, 29 seconds and is also available as a tuba trio. The arranger, Les Smith, will be happy to provide substitute parts (e.g., treble clef baritone for trombone) at no charge; contact him directly at lessmith61@bellsouth.net. For more arrangements by Les, enter "Sweetwater Brass Press" (without the quotation marks) in the SheetMusicPlus search box. (Also, purchase of this piece entitles you to your choice of another of his arrangements at no charge; send a copy of your purchase receipt directly to him at lessmith61@bellsouth.net.)
