A Bigger Bar of Candy Land
A suite of eight short pieces, written with the intention of providing an interesting challenge for the advanced beginner.
Even in this limited range, there are some wonderful melodies, interesting and novel harmonies plus good counting and rhythmic learning opportunities for the recorder players, plus... a piano part is fairly easy but still interesting to play.
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 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!
Notes:
The piano part is fairly easy but still interesting to play.
