The 31st Day of Oktober

Capture the imagination of your young musicians with this scary musical escapade. Well within the abilities of beginning musicians, this darkly comical work brings images of Halloween to life! Your students will ask to play this year-round – it's that much fun. Halloween originated 1200 years ago with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. This imaginative and scary selection is written to bring out the best in younger music students and will impress the audience with their mature sound. A sure thing for your fall concert. (2:20)
