Imagine the fire-spewing, eyes-blazing, slimy-scaled mythical creature in this dramatic work! This excellent teaching piece features many techniques, including hooked bowings, slurs, lifts, accents, pizzicato, tremolo, and a few high three-finger patterns in upper strings. Written in the keys of A minor and E minor, all parts have interesting moving lines and melodies as well as wonderfully rich chordal harmonies. Sure to be a pleasing addition to any concert or festival.
