Dragon Slayer (FJH)

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!
