Description:
Directors are always in search of music that can teach the time signature of 6/8. “Viva la Compagnie” is a perfect educational piece for doing just that. This arrangement sets this common folk tune in two ways. The first is in slow 6/8 with six pulses in each measure. The second section is a rousing fast 6/8 with two beats per measure. The melody is in a call and response form and travels around the band giving every section a chance. The ranges and rhythms for this very enjoyable tune are very comfortable for a second year band.
