Purchasing a set of score and parts grants permission to copy parts as necessary for all members of your ensemble. Alternatively, I offer individual parts for sale. Saves you time, and they look nice. If you order individual parts, please specify which at checkout.

Additionally, to accommodate your ensemble, as my schedule allows, I may be available to create additional alternate parts. Please contact shop@mostlydifferent.com with any such requests.

Score is 40 pages not including covers and introduction, 8.5″×11″ comb-bound.
Parts are 7-8 pages each, 9″×12″ stapled booklets.

This piece has not been rated according to any of the handful of grading systems in existence. It has been performed successfully by multiple college-level ensembles, and could probably be handled by less-experienced ensembles as well. In my experience, the primary difficulty in putting this piece together is in ensemble coordination, rather than in the difficulty of any given part. A few sections featuring frequent changes in meter and offset rhythms (variably intended to convey malfunction or confusion or disarray) tend to be the trickiest bit, mainly in regards to the ensemble achieving an adequate comfort level. See http://www.mostlydifferent.com/music/slqf3 for full-length recordings of multiple performances of Super Legend Quest Fantasy III.

If you must have a number, I'd wager Grade 5-6.
