Dragon Slayer for string ensemble by Robert Grice
A Grade 1 level ensemble piece arranged for violin 1, violin 2 (or viola), viola, cello, double bass, piano and percussion
Using only six notes and note values no smaller than a quarter note, Rob Grice has managed to compose a piece that every beginning band student will want to play. Brake drum and gong contribute to the overall effect as your band embarks on its adventurous journey to a world where dragons roam free and no one is safe. Mild dissonance is approached very well — if you're looking to fire up your youngest players, this is your answer!

This spectacular arrangement features four movements from Tchaikovsky's famous Album for the Young. Opening with the endearing Morning Prayer, the piece then moves into the lighthearted waltz, The Hurdy-Gurdy Man. The beautiful Sweet Dream sets the stage for the delightful last movement, March of the Wooden Soldiers. Remarkably faithful to the original while also quite accessible to younger students!
