When a fuller instrumentation is available teachers and conductors are encouraged to vary therscoring as appropriate, particularly in repeated sections. This will allow players to rest occasionally and add changes of colour to the band sound by avoiding excessive doubling. The total playing time is around 16 minutes. ‘The five parts are available in the following transpositions: Part Cupper octave Flute inc Oboe in Bb 1st Clarinet, tst Cornet in Eb Soprano Cornet, Eb Clarinet Part 2 in Bb 2nd Clarinet, 2nd Cornet, Fluge!
