“Hoppa” is a folk tune that is largely melody driven throughout. A section has been adapted for solos, which can be explained to the ensemble and adapted by the group. Also, this folk melody uses repetition very effectively (good theory lesson) and tosses the melody between different instruments and ranges. We used big notes for preferred range, but you have the flexibility and instrumentation of your ensemble and the repetitious sections allow your less advanced students to find success.
