This fun and accessible piece captures the carefree feel of music playing on a Caribbean beach. All instruments take a turn playing syncopated melodies, supported by rhythmic ostinatos and energetic percussion parts. Great for teaching a variety of dynamics and articulations. Students will not want to hand this one back in!
This cleverly titled work includes three famous themes from The Planets. The swooping and fluttering sounds of Mercury, the Winged Messenger give way to the mystical tone clusters and serenity of Venus, the Bringer of Peace. The arrangement closes with the iconic militant ostinato and extreme dissonance of Mars, the Bringer of War. An exceptional arrangement. (4:30)
