The Toymaker's Workshop (Die Spielzeugmacher-Werkstatt) Rebecca G. Jarvis

Concert Band

This charming holiday novelty piece opens with Bavarian-style folk melodies. We then hear a musical depiction of the toys with percussionists quickly alternating between traditional and accessory instruments while winds and brass add humor with glissandos, color punches, and imitation. This clever composition is an excellent choice for the holiday season that will bring smiles to your audience. Glucklich beim spielen! (Happy playing!)
