Celtic Fringe

Starting in 2007 MAP tunes were introduced as the playing requirements at championships for Grades Novice, 4A and 4B. Grades Novice and 4B should choose 4 Marches from the tune list below.

Please note for tunes showing more than 2 parts, the requirement is the first 2 parts only.

The required “Style and Interpretation” will continue to be “Spirited and Lively” (i.e. “rhythmic and expressive with clarity of execution and good musical effect”).

From the 2010 season the requirements for Grade 4A will change at the major championships to a March, Strathspey and Reel format. Grade 4A bands should note that each tune should comprise of only 2 parts.

Grade 4A bands should select 2 of the Marches below and 1 Strathspey and 1 Reel below.

Requirements for the Final will be unchanged – i.e. 2 minutes 45 seconds to 4 minutes 30 seconds of Quick March Rhythm – and any MAP tunes played in the Heats can also be played in the Final. This gives Bands the opportunity to take MAP tunes into their main selection thus enhancing the skills already attained/practiced.

It is emphasised that the tunes are not test pieces and, therefore, bands may customise the music by adding or deleting embellishments as they see as appropriate to suit their ability. Bands are strongly recommended to refer to the guidance offered in “The Language of Music” provided with the original MAP pack.
