Description
A BIGGER BAR of CANDY LAND is a suite of eight short pieces, written with the intention of providing interesting and challenging music for the advanced beginner. It only uses the following notes F, G, A, Bb, B, C, C# & D. However, even within this limited range, there are some wonderful melodies, interesting and novel harmonies plus good counting and rhythmic learning opportunities.
Playing options
Each of the pieces can be used as a stand-alone work or played as a whole.
Imagination options: Music for your Own Story
A BIGGER BAR of CANDY LAND was written to be played as a whole, with a loose narrative running though the work. This makes it ideal to be used as a creative and imagination tool for the teacher and students to create their own story around this music; perhaps, about a trip to the magical world of “Candy Land”
Creative Education
The work was derived from CANDY LAND and six of these eight pieces share roughly the same music as CANDY LAND. What is different, however, is the treatment of the melodies and the way they are harmonized. This shows the students the possibilities of looking again at what can be created and there being more than one way of doing things.
The PREVIEW files are the first 15-20 seconds or so of each piece.
The Eight Pieces of a Bigger Bar of Candy Lane are:
- The Licorice Gates of Candy Land
- The Milk Chocolate River
- Run to those Bonbons
- Towers in the Mist
- The Lollypop Carousel
- Sugar Overload
- Going Home
- There's Always Tomorrow!
What's in the Pack?
- MP3 files with a recorder playing the melody. (Which is a great help while learning the songs).
- MP3 files with no recorder. (Ideal for performance track use, if a live piano is not available).
- PDF of the full score with a separate recorder part
Additional Notes
The piano part is fairly easy but still interesting to play.
This is just one of many works we’ve written for children and adults alike. If you would like something written for you, then we are always also open to composing with any ideas you have.
