Adaptable Music


As part of the Creative Repertoire Initative I have written/re-worked several pieces that are for an adaptable/flexible ensembles (for band and string instruments) a response to the challenges to music performance and education that have been created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The idea behind these pieces is that, no matter the issues we face moving in to the 2020/21 academic year, there will be repertoire for players of all levels to learn and play together, be it in person, a hybrid-model, etc..

The pieces below fall in to one of 2 categories:

1- Adaptable Instrumental Ensemble:
These have been composed/arranged in to 4 voices (S,A,T,B) and scored so that each instrument in your ensemble can play any part (ie flute 1 - 4, French Horn 1 -4, Tuba 1 - 4 etc.). There are optional percussion parts in every piece and several of the pieces also have optional piano parts. There are also works with electronics too! Also included in the set will be a score for each instrument (e.g. a 4 part score for trombone, a 4-part score for clarinet, etc..), as well as a score in C complete with all of the percussion parts.

2- Flex Instrumental Ensemble:
has instruments assigned to specific voice parts based on range. This type of ensemble requires at least one player available on each part.

All sets will be delivered digitally as a PDF and you are free to distribute those PDF files to anyone within your program.

For more information, please see this Meechan Music Adaptable Chart FAQ.

Please note:

All adaptable music titles are delivered digitally.

Each set contains a score as well as all parts (in the case of an Adaptable Instrument Ensemble work that is 4 parts (SATB) for every instrument in your band/orchestra. For a Flex Instrument Ensemble that is every part required by the scoring.)
