Publisher Desc.  Your elementary orchestra students will love the epic mood of this piece, which is written in E minor and characterized by unhurried melodies, dramatic ostinato rhythm in the accompaniment and a variety of finger patterns and bow strokes. The middle section provides contrast with slurred bowings and arpeggiated passages in middle voices. The primary and secondary material is evenly distributed among the instrumental sections and the piece is the perfect length to hold the attention of young players and audiences alike.
