Barnaby Behaves Badly - (Retriever Reveries (II))

This vivacious programme number was written for Barnaby (more often known as Barney), Simba’s (see At The Splash with Sim) predecessor in our Golden Retriever succession. Barney was a very laid back and happy soul, not our brightest-ever retriever, but with the potential for a little mischief when the mood took him.

It was written with the intention of being eminently playable so both the range and the technical demands are carefully controlled and the scoring is designed to make the music sound strong with a band of less experienced players.
