Description:
This clever young band composition will tell the story of the blacksmith’s anvil as it creates a song of intense percussive energy. Using only the first 6 notes of the scale, “The Blacksmith’s Song” was conceived and written as a concert/festival work for very young musicians. An excellent vehicle for the teaching the concepts of articulation, phrasing and musical balance your students will also enjoy interesting musical lines for every instrument and the complimentary percussion writing. Your audiences will love the novelty of the piece as well. Let the anvil begin!
