Hermann Regner took up a suggestion of Carl Orffs in his preface to Klavierübung in the Orff Schulwerk, where he wrote: The melodies, which are close to nursery rhymes, folk songs and dancing songs, should first of all... be played in unison...The simple accompanying parts can be extended and built up. The little pieces, which can easily be put together in a suite, can be repeated several times,... verse by verse...!' With this in mind, Hermann Regner, for many years a colleague of Carl Orffs, has chosen individual pieces from the collection and arranged them for brass. They represent an enrichment in the repertoire for such groups. They are also suitable for music schools.
