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)
