Where Stand the Dauntless (FLEX Version)

This version of Where Stand the Dauntless by Vince Gassi 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. 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. A fanfare, a lyrical theme, and driving energy embody the spirit of the dauntless---the brave and amazing young musicians of Dolphin Senior Public School in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Where Stand the Dauntless by Vince Gassi is an exciting work---and a perfect concert opener and contest piece. (2:35)
