Program notes regarding version for adaptable (flex) band:
This new version of Loop - D - Loop focuses on several things for adaptable band:
First, while the title remained the same, I did change the key from D to F, a more user-friendly key.
The piece can be played by a minimum of 5 players, up to as many as desired. Percussion can be optional.
The opening melodic line is cross-cued in many other parts, in case the director opts to feature a single soloist, instead
of using the flute/oboe and clarinet sections.
For balance issues, and in the effort to enhance the color, many parts are marked tacet in certain spots, to be adhered to
if the other instruments in their "part" are present. They are subsequently marked "PLAY", to indicate when the tacet should stop.
There are two options for individual soloists (letter L through N) to stand and be featured, if desired. While the score indicates a "C" instrument,
parts are available for Bb, C, or Eb instrume
