The first edition of “It’s Time For Music, original music for flexible children’s ensemble”, consisting of five books, aims to provide chamber music for children’s and youth ensembles of different instrumental combinations. Every book is divided into two parts. In the first part you will find three original works presented in complete scores, the second part includes individual scores (loose pages) corresponding to each part/voice.
All the works in this edition consist of five parts/voices (A-B-C-D-E). Each part/voice, except of the part C – piano, is transposed in three keys (C, Bb, Eb) and can be played by different instruments. It is on musicians, students and teachers, to creatively choose the constitution of the ensemble.
