Both bold and dramatic, this new work by celebrated composer James Swearingen is sure to inspire your young students to aim high for that special performance. Comfortable ranges, accessible rhythms and well- marked parts all combine to create a magical opportunity for musical learning. The middle section, based on the hymn “All Creatures of Our God and King”, is expressive writing at its absolute best. A return to the main theme brings the creative composition to a highly charged and exciting climax. A guaranteed winner!

So here’s my story with this song ...
This happened yesterday
My band teacher gave this song out for wind ensemble, we were doing a sight reading challenge. There is only 2 regular clarinets in wind ensemble. The other one wasn’t there leaving me alone. So I basically had to play 0:13- 0:25 all by myself ( Did I mention I’m only a 6th grader) So my band teacher put me on the spot

This reminds me of the opening of a Christmas movie for whatever reason, but like not a crappy one either, like “A Christmas Carol” quality movie

[@Cypaz]

[@kawingng1600]

And I'm just doomed in sight reading it...

[@marissahorner3959]

It was easy for me

[@ConnorHBradley]

It's level 1 and a half, it should be easy once you hear it a couple times

[@kawingng1600]

@@ConnorHBradley yeah, so I have already played it without the score xD
But still, the sudden Bb appeared on Trumpet 1 is so tricky...
