This version of As Twilight Falls by Robert Sheldon 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.
The sense of peace and tranquility of twilight on a summer's evening inspires this lovely, lyrical offering. An excellent teaching opportunity for phrasing and expression, As Twilight Falls provides a moment of contrast at any young band's concert performance and is now available in Alfred's 5-part FLEX format. Correlates to Book 1, Level 5 of Sound Innovations for Concert Band .
