Anyone Can Play: Thirteen Pieces for Open Ensemble

Anyone Can Play: Thirteen Pieces for Open Ensemble

open variable instrumentation

These thirteen pieces for open ensemble, written across a period of fifty years, explore flexible areas of music - in ensemble type and size, in structure and form, and in graphic notation. This anthology was created to give new music ensembles at schools a flexible, easy way to explore new types of music.

ANYONE CAN PLAY is thus divided into three sections: Text-Based Scores, Stave-Based Scores, and Graphic Scores.

This anthology was curated by Jody Rockmaker.
