Publisher Desc.  This composition follows a storyline of a Hero's Journey on his way to find and kill a dragon. The music takes you on a story of the Hero beginning his journey, getting closer to the dragon. Finding its lair, and eventually fighting the dragon. "Redemption" has a few instruments that can be played during the piece that are not found in the typical concert band. The air raid siren can be bought off amazon. It's a green hand-crank siren, it isn't too loud. The player can be any band member willing to do so. The player should start the siren soon after the winds cut off. The siren should start slow and quiet, gradually getting louder and louder. The conductor should bring in the percussion in measure 96 with the siren still going at its max volume. Then the siren should slowly die down in measures 97-98. The other instruments are Aztec death whistles, the first Aztec death whistle (regular death whistle found on amazon) may be played by any band member from measures 97-104 and 107-114. The second Aztec death whistle is a dragon whistle (found on amazon). This player (anyone in the band) may play it from measures 123-126 and 75-76. The flutes have "jet whistles" written in their part. A jet whistle is when the flute player covers the mouthpiece and blows a very fast stream of hair through the instrument. The player should use all their breath, very quickly, in one go. Any questions about parts/score/misc. instruments may be emailed to [email protected].
