Spirit of the Sea

Spirit of the Warrior

Dedicated to all soldiers and warriors, past and present, this beginning band piece uses only the first 6 notes of the concert Bb scale. Beginning boldly with separated notes in the low brass and winds, the higher woodwinds soon enter with a legato countermelody. Percussion includes vibraslap and gong for additional interest. Use this composition to work on balance, listening between sections, and articulation skills. An excellent choice to inspire beginning students to achieve their best.
