Description

A grand prelude for worship, concert or festival, “A Day to Celebrate” is bold and rhythmic –with strong chords and a bright melody. Add the optional trumpet to make this fanfare really sparkle! A calmer middle section is in the relative minor key. Two Level 2 settings in this original piece’s folio allow for flexibility: “A” covers 2 oct. (G4-G6) or 2½ oct. (C4-G6) while “B” covers 3 to 5 octaves. Choose the setting that best fits your group – note they are in different keys (“A” is in C, “B” is in F), so they are not compatible. This fanfare has a recurring rhythmic pattern (dotted-8th/16th note pairs) played by every ringer somewhere in the piece, making it a great teaching piece for this rhythmic skill.
