The Theme from the Third Movement of Saint Saens' Symphony No. 3 has been arranged by composer Russell Gilmour for virtually any mix of instruments. Ideal for any ensemble combination, the parts can be played by single or mixed instrumental ensembles and consorts such as string, guitar or brass families. An added feature is that some of the parts have been arranged for school string orchestras. Not only is there a choice of instrumentation but also of parts. If the ensemble doesn't have a bass instrument, then simply choose the parts suitable for the instruments available. Even the melody doesn't need to be played, as one of the many elegant countermelodies can be used instead. Classroom music teachers, community music ensembles, windbands and orchestras will find this Flexi-kit Arrangement totally adaptable. The parts range from very easy to moderate in ability, making them suitable for ensembles consisting of mixed levels of performance. Teachers and students using this Flexi-kit Arrangement are encouraged to experiment with different combinations to discover the virtually unlimited possibilities for instrumental colour and variety.
