Myths and Legends - Rob Grice

Extensive percussion writing highlights this exciting work. Opening with an almost ethereal quality, the piece quickly shifts character to a 6/8 section reminiscent of medieval times. A lush and vibrant lyrical section offers an opportunity to showcase your ensemble's musicianship. A percussive interlude then builds to a dramatic conclusion. A superb opportunity to show versatility at a lower medium grade level. (4:10)
