City Chase

This impression of the hustle and bustle of a busy city day and the chase to accomplish daily goals offers many opportunities for the development of performers' musical skills. The day unfolds, starting aggressively before moving to a short reflective section. Use this not only to introduce students to a contemporary style but to develop an understanding of the stylistic differences between staccato and legato lines. There are plenty of ensemble moments, but many individual solo or lightly scored sections let your ensemble focus on their listening and balance skills as well. Enjoy your chase of a great musical experience!
