Publisher Desc.  Suttons Bay, Leelanau County, Michigan is a work for young orchestra designed to teach bowing fundamentals and meter change. The music is inspired by a visit to Suttons Bay, a village in Northern Michigan, located along the Leelanau peninsula, bordering an inlet of Lake Michigan. The brightly colored clapboard buildings and public beach invite tourists to stop for a break, or spend the weekend enjoying shopping, eating, and relaxing. The melodies are reminiscent of an old sea shanty, with time changes that represent the ebb and flow of waves crashing into the sand. Young musicians will be stretched to use string crossings and shift positions. Each instrument gets an opportunity for a rollicking melody!
