Product Description

Here is the iconic Dave Brubeck song Take Five arranged for Orff/marimba ensemble. This arrangement is intended for school Orff and marimba ensembles of all levels. It comes with score, student parts and lead sheets for transposing instruments. The Orff student parts are in alphanote format to help young musicians who may not have strong enough skills to read standard notation. Please note - the student parts do not match the score but rather only show the basic patterns to be played for the arrangement. Any variations should be taught via rote instruction from the score.

Several options are provided for playing the melody. One way is to have the Orff instruments play it using the alternate melody. The alternate melody avoids the accidentals and chromaticism found in the original version.  Another way is to have the melody played by a chromatic mallet instrument (if available) or wind or string instrument.   Here is where the transposed lead sheets are valuable.  Also included is the transcribed Paul Desmond improv solo which can be inserted in the piece to expand the arrangement.  The youtube video link below demonstrates this expanded version: 

Suggested grade level: 4 and up.
Style: Jazz  Duration: 3:55 minutes    Level: medium   Instrumentation: LeadSATBB
