Drawbridges & Dragons - Journey to a land and time of valiant knights and the castles and kingdoms they've sworn to protect in this fantastical original composition for middle level string orchestras, in which every section of your group plays a melody. Written in A minor, using nothing harder than slurred eighth notes, while completely avoiding accidentals, this piece is a quintessential Medieval musical adventure.
The stately main theme is shared throughout all sections of the orchestra, juxtaposed with two sublime legato sections. Students will love the exciting melodies and the cascading patterns that increase in intensity; you’ll love the pedagogical focus on bowing techniques, dynamics, and articulations… and how much your students will want to rehearse this fun selection again and again!
