Ride of the Knights CB Gr 1 Lopez Victor

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)
