Mr. Holland's Opus

Title: Mr. Holland's Opus
Level: 3.5
Composer/Arranger: Jay Bacook
Publisher: HalLeonard corporation
Classification: Movie Music (Opus)
Instrumentation: Full
Source: Popplers Music Inc.
General Comments: This piece will give your students the chance to play some music they may have heard in the movie such as: An American Symphony, Visions of a Sunset, and Cole's Song. This piece not only has opportunities for solo's with a thin accompaniment, but this piece will challenge your students with its septuplets, 32nd notes and triplet passages. The ranges are not that hard so you can concentrate on the tricky rhythms with your students. This is a piece that your students should enjoy playing and will help them grow musically.
