Thus Spoke the Raven
Thus Spoke the Raven was inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s dark and mysterious poem “The Raven.” Sounding particularly sophisticated for this grade level, the piece accurately depicts Poe’s poem in a fun and exciting musical setting. Slightly sinister sounding percussion begins the medium-tempo introduction, which leads into an energetic and driving “Allegro.” With the use of pulsing staccato accompaniments, exhilarating ostinato patterns, and stimulating syncopation, this piece has it all!SKU: AL19531 -

Teachers know that many of these triumphs go unrecognized, but can have a significant and resounding impact on our students, community, and ourselves.
