Piccolo sheet music

Piccolo sheet music on this page is gathered by part name: each listed score includes a part labelled piccolo. The selections shown range from a 19-part orchestral transcription of Joe Hisaishi's 'Merry-Go-Round of Life' from Howl's Moving Castle, credited to Andrea Tam, to a pop score for BTS's 'Dope' with a wind and reed part list, and a marching band arrangement of Sid's 'Monochrome no Kiss' from Black Butler. Part lists, opening keys, time signatures and tempi are the useful guides here: they describe the score in front of you, not necessarily the work's original instrumentation.

Reading the part list

A score's part list is the quickest guide to its forces. In the Howl's Moving Castle transcription, piccolo is one of 19 parts, placed with flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, tuba, timpani, glockenspiel, snare drum, cymbal, piano, two violin parts, viola, cello and contrabass. The BTS 'Dope' score lists nine parts: piccolo, flute, oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone and bassoon. The Monochrome no Kiss marching band arrangement lists piccolo with flute, clarinet, alto and tenor saxophones, trumpet, mellophone, trombone, baritone horn, tuba, glockenspiel, marimba, drumset and hi-hat. These lists describe the score, not the work's original instrumentation.

Orchestral, wind and marching band contexts

The selected scores show the piccolo in different ensemble types. The Howl's Moving Castle item is an orchestral transcription with strings and brass. The BTS 'Dope' score is a pop piece scored for wind and reed instruments without strings. The Monochrome no Kiss item is a marching band arrangement with drumset and hi-hat. If you are choosing for a specific ensemble, match the part list to the players you have rather than relying on the title alone.

Keys, metres and tempi

Opening details can help you compare the demands of each score. The Howl's transcription opens in 3/4, with key signatures of two flats, no sharps or flats, and one flat across its parts. The BTS 'Dope' score opens in 2/4 with no sharps or flats, two sharps and three sharps. The marching band arrangement opens in 4/4 with no sharps or flats, two sharps, three sharps and one sharp. Opening tempi are 96 BPM, 154 BPM and 140 BPM respectively. These are starting points; the music may change key, metre or tempo later.

Credits and original forces

An arranger or transcriber credit belongs to the score in front of you. The Howl's Moving Castle transcription is credited to Andrea Tam, and the Monochrome no Kiss item is identified as a marching band arrangement. A piccolo part in these scores does not show that the work was first written for piccolo, or that the score is complete. Check the full part list and the notation before you commit to rehearsal.
