NEW EDITION COMING FEB 2026!Directors may make copies of parts as needed for your ensemble. Includes optional Contralto and Contrabass clarinet parts and Baritone (TC) part. "The Monks Turned Topsy-Turvy" is an original fantasy for concert band, based on the old French-Canadian childrens song, "Ah! Si mon moine voulait danser! (Danse, mon moine, danse)." The title is a play on words: "moine" means both "monk" and "spinning top" in French. The lyrics speak of persuading "mon moine" to dance by offering various articles of clothing, such as a hood or cap. Originally composed for clarinet choir and arranged for band by the composer.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
