Mahala Rai Banda

Mahalageasca

Mahalageasca is a piece that make you happy both to listen and perform. It's possible to play the piece as a stage entrance piece. Repeat bars 1 to 8 several times. You might let the Drum set and some Percussion start alone. After basses have played their first eight bars, move on to bar nine. It is also possible to perform is as an ancore where you might change positions for the brass players but use the same pattern with Percussion as above. Here's a suggestion for set-up: Backrow sits in front of the conductor (on horn chairs) Soprano and Solo Cornets standing behind them. Trombones sits at the conductors right (on Euphonium/Baritone-chairs) Basses sitting behind the Trombones Flugelhorn and horns on the left (sitting on the solo cornet chairs) Euphoniums and Baritones behind the horns. Please do not play too loud on mf. A bit press on the start of the slurs often better the emphasis (some marcatos written as well) Bars 96 to 136 is challenging for mallet percussion. They can be played as solo, or two players might share it in a convenient way.
