CGB1094 The Wise and Foolish Builders
Description
You can hear the hammers pound as the "wise" man and the "foolish" man build their houses, then feel the battering storm and experience the crash as the house on the sand meets its inevitable fall! Mark Arnold's arrangement of the beloved childrens' song illustrates the story using mallet clicks and a stormy 3/4 section, with optional percussion adding to the fun.
Voicing: 3, 4 or 5 octaves handbells with optional wood block and tambourine
Arranger: Mark S. Arnold
Season: General
Level: 2+
