Ride of the Knights [Alf:00-43078S]

This exciting original work for developing band was conceptualized as a contest / festival selection. It is high-energy and vigorous, and will make your ensemble sound like professionals. Written in triple meter, this work provides an opportunity to learn and teach key modality, articulations, phrasing, dynamics---and the complex structure of combining the melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic materials. This piece intensely portrays the mysterious history of ancient knights as a force with which to be reckoned. (1:45)
