Frontier Phantoms  

Deborah Baker Monday
Grade 2

This adventure piece includes only those elements that can be accomplished by very young musicians, yet the sequence of these elements makes for a spectacular performance! Beginning with the sounds of distant drumming, the beat grows stronger before moving into a full-blown western saga. Separate themes represent the "frontiersmen" and the warriors before the two collide in battle over shifting tonalities and rising intensity. All instruments use both F and F-sharp, making this an excellent teaching piece as well. Exciting!
