<p>I've searched for and found this arrangement of Cammeyer's 'Sammy on Parade' by Bernard Sheaff who was Cammeyer's 'star' pupil and who collaborated with Cam on, in my opinion' his best work, 'Marche en Passant', 'Down Devon Way', Danse Bizarre', 'Two Cornish Dances' etc. Bernard Sheaff met Cammeyer during the 1st World War when Cammeyer and his wife lived outside London, I think that 'Sammy on Parade' was written during the war years and that Sheaff probably made this arrangement for banjo…</p>

<p>Yes, the "Solo Banjo" part is written in E and A while the rest is written in A and D. The bass note "C" in the Solo Banjo part actually sounds an F (which is the lowest note on the Banjeaurine, tuned cFCEG). </p>
<p>Generically, multiples will play identical parts in club arrangements. However, some arrangements (or conductors) may indicate/choose 'divisi', which allows the section to divide the part...especially if the part is chordal in nature. For instance, the better player might take…</p>

<p>Generically, multiples will play identical parts in club arrangements. However, some arrangements (or conductors) may indicate/choose 'divisi', which allows the section to divide the part...especially if the part is chordal in nature. For instance, the better player might take the top two notes of the chord while the other player plays single on the bottom notes. This is often decided by the section lead or simply an agreement between the section players.</p>
<p>If I know there will be multiples (or a section) and I have a score that is chordal (and doesn't get too noisy) I will often notate a divisi option. In my arrangement for the Spanish Dances, the bass (left hand) part is often parallel notes (octaves, thirds or fifths) and I notate a divisi option if there are multiple CBs.</p> Re: Aurora March, am I correc…tag:classic-banjo.ning.com,2021-07-29:2667446:Comment:1868342021-07-29T01:23:02.808ZEthan Schwartzhttps://classic-banjo.ning.com/profile/EthanSchwartz
<p>Re: Aurora March, am I correct that the "Solo Banjo" part refers to banjeaurine? Is that because the banjeaurine carries the main melody for most of the piece? I also wasn't aware that banjuerine notation is transposing, but I suppose it makes sense. </p>
<p>It also looks like the piccolo banjo doubles the 1st banjo a lot, and the banjeurine here and there. Would it be safe to assume that if you have two piccolo banjos, they typically play the same part?</p>

<p>Hal Allert transposed "Aurora March" into C Notation (if anyone is interested). It is in the library here. I'm not sure if he re-arranged anything from the original.</p>
<p>Arranging a CB part for it could be as simple as just reading from the 2nd bjo part. Hitting the bass notes and doubling any walk-down/up sequences would do very well. And, as you said, you could re-arrange the 2nd (and add CB) to follow Armstrong's divided bass format. I tend to prefer the CB to play a 1-5 (if possible)…</p>

I tend to prefer the CB to play a 1-5 (if possible) on the beats with the 2nd bjo hitting the chords in between. Sometimes it is fun to mess around with any runs, inverting them in the bass, etc.</p>

<p>Armstrong's big thing was divided bass, where the cello plays the roots on the beat and the 2nd banjos follow with the chord. </p>
<p>As someone who has played piccolo in a club setting, the piccolo part is dialed back. With marches I am often playing the trills that one hears a wind piccolo play. In my experience, they were careful to not over play it. </p>
