Habanera from Carmen by Georges Bizet, arranged by Richard Meyer, will give your students an opportunity to perform one of the most familiar scenes from that famous opera. In this authentic sounding and very playable arrangement, the tune is passed from section to section to keep everyone involved, and the simple chromatic lines, changes in key signature, and frequent dynamic contrasts provide great teaching opportunities. Multiple percussion parts add to the exotic texture of what is sure to become one of your students' favorite selections! (3:30)
