Hear the call of ancient ancestors in this exciting tribute to legend and legacy. Bold, heroic themes of fierce warriors and noble rulers rise through subtle pentatonic harmonies that suggest mighty Chinese dynasties. Adventurous melodies in a driving 6/8 are passed to every section with a few easy accidentals. A great teaching piece to focus on slurred string crossings while staying in first position. (3:15)

Commissioned by the National String Project Consortium, this gorgeous lyrical work can be performed alone as an intermediate level piece, or with multi-level supplemental parts (available separately) for beginning and developing string students. Orchestrated to celebrate inclusion and diversity, the multi-level option is designed to sound far "greater than" the intermediate version alone. Not your traditional festival orchestra piece by any means. (Grade 3, Dur 5:40)
