Bluster
The winds in foothill communities throughout southern California are often unpredictable and sometimes quite fierce. They can come and go in an instant or blow relentlessly all day. Bluster seeks to musically portray these wild winds in this colorful and energetic work. In addition to the rain stick, palm fronds may be shaken in the percussion section to give a visual depiction of the wind.” The minor harmonies create some neat sounds students would not usually encounter until a higher grade level. There is a great variety of articulation and dynamics that captures the energy of fierce winds perfectly”

Clown Act
This humorous circus march brings to life all the color of a clown parade as it slips and slides and elbows you in the ribs. The sax section gets to stand and bark like dogs, and the entire ensemble screams in delight as a clown is shot out of a canon onto a galloping horse. Very colorful and exciting!SKU: AL36718 -
