Clash of the Warriors

Based on a Bulgarian folk song, this musical depiction of two warriors battling each other begins with a mysterious and ominous statement that explodes into a rhythmic flurry of driving percussion, mixed meters, and long, powerful lines. Active mallet and percussion parts will challenge your more advanced players. With varied dynamics, meter changes, and interesting melodic and accompaniment lines, this composition works well as a concert closer or concert and contest selection.
