    This is somehow vaguely familiar. Going back almost ten years ago and Colgrass actually came to our university symphonic band to work with us. The bell part was performed by a professional level hand bell choir. Colgrass I believe is a percussionist hence why the percussion part is weird. Had some good stories about Stravinsky though! (Spoiler: Stravinsky was terrible at conducting and would offer booze mid recording).

    I think people are confused on the squiggles since the music itself isn't that hard. It has some pretty basic rythms. It might also be on trying to find your place with all the random playinh in the background. We started playing this yesterday for band and I got confused at first as well.
