    PROGRAM NOTES
    This cherished Leroy Anderson work traditionally features orchestral stringed instruments on the melody demonstrating
    the variety of textures inherent to those instruments. Sit back and enjoy this delightful twist to this charismatic melody
    and see if you can figure out which childhood tune was the basis for the theme.

    NOTES TO THE CONDUCTOR


    Every school has a talented mallet player. This great Leroy Anderson tune based on “Three Blind Mice” is traditionally
    associated with strings. This rendition has been arranged to feature your solo xylophone or marimba. The set includes
    two versions of the solo, one for an advanced performer and an easy-play mallet percussion for your student soloist.

    The band accompaniment parts pose little challenge for the developing band and afford a more experienced ensemble
    the opportunity to prepare the accompaniment with very little rehearsal. It is important to remember to balance the
    accompaniment behind the soloist and careful attention to uniform treatment of the articulations, particularly staccatos
    and accents, will result in an energetic performance.

    For ease of preparation for the mallet soloist, Alfred has released a matching solo with piano accompaniment version
    that can be used to rehearse prior to joining the band and also as a solo ensemble/studio version (Alfred catalog number
    00—40555).

    Let the soloist dictate the tempo and feel free to raise the tempo even a bit more than marked.

    Please note: Our band and orchestra music is now being collated by an automatic high-speed system.
    The enclosed parts are now sorted by page count, rather than score order.
