Description
ABOUT THIS PIECE
Some goblins have gotten into your basement and are wreaking havoc in this fun, chaotic piece for beginning Concert Band. Great for a Halloween performance or just a rousing good time in general. The opening represents goblins hiding behind boxes in the middle of the night, waiting for the right time to start their mischief. The goblins get loose in measure 33, trashing the place and increasingly becoming an irritant. The mark tree is their magic, and the last 12 bars is the owner coming down to the basement in an effort to chase the goblins out once and for all.
Clarinet parts do not cross the break in “Goblins in the Basement”, and there are instances where low brass/reeds have the melody. The Percussion 3 part (amusingly named “Chaos”) is more a guide than a hard-and-fast rule of when to play. Use whatever percussion instruments you have at your disposal (i.e. slide/siren whistles, ratchets, frying pans, etc.) to make this piece your own. Dissonance here is not a bug but rather a feature to be embraced.
