The Galleon Returns
|
The Galleon Returns is a triumphant piece for beginning band. In the key of B-flat major, it only uses the (typically) first seven notes learned. Using scalar and arpeggio patterns, the piece has an optimistic sound, one depicting the awaited return of a magnificent galleon. Imagine a ship sailing into port with people gathering, waving and cheering. This piece is written to be a developmentally appropriate, full length musical work for young performers. Note: there is only one dynamic marked at the beginning. If the performing ensemble is ready for more, add some more dynamics in! The Galleon Returns offers a great opportunity to make music for beginning-level musicians.
