Tirade

Set in the Dorian mode, this exciting piece offers young musicians the opportunity to perform with passion and emotion to make a bold musical statement. Since there are no dotted rhythms, articulations, or eighth notes (other than in the percussion section), and using only the first five notes the students have learned, this is a perfect piece for a beginning band's first concert!
