Flexible Band/String Ensemble Score & Parts

Grade: 1 (Very Easy)

This version of High Hopes arranged by Doug Adams is part of our Belwin 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 4 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. The 4-part instrumentation will support balanced instrumentation of the lower voices. 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.

From Panic! At the Disco's Pray for the Wicked album, this inspirational anthem was a number-one song on numerous charts. Familiar to students and audiences alike, this solidly scored arrangement by Doug Adams for your beginners will be both their favorite and an impressive addition to your concert. The driving beat has energy to spare! (2:00)
