Warrior's Path

Performable by as few as five winds and four percussion, this beginning band composition depicts a lone warrior beginning a journey across an ancient land. This solitary warrior is joined by others on the way, and together they defend those who cannot defend themselves. Only a minute and a half long and using only the first six notes of the B-flat concert scale, this is a great choice for a second-semester concert and for bands with limited instrumentation. Use this to work on creating even articulations and to develop listening skills between the ensemble's members. A great choice for concert and contest.
