Dotonobri Dash

Illustrating an adventurous chase through the lively and colorful Dotonbori Market in Osaka, Japan, your students will end up with a good grasp of A minor pentatonics, Col Legno (simulating Taiko Drums), slap pizzicato and the sense of a driving forward motion, accomplished through tumbling melodic lines that are shared by every section of the string orchestra plus a percussive element that hints at a rock band rhythm section.
