Nomadic Adventure

Variety of style and sonic contrast are just as important in concert programming as they are in keeping student interest. The image of nomads wandering across the desert is brought to life through steady quarter and 8th note patterns, excellent percussion writing (especially use of cymbals and tambourine), the minor melody and harmonic minor accompaniment. An excellent way to introduce students to minor tonality, reinforce accidentals and spice up your concert and classroom!
