The Minorsaur

The Minorsaur was written for the beginning band that has limited range, note and articulation skills but still want a "Real" piece of sheet music to prepare and perform. We can learn that by adding a note to our Bb concert scale that we can explore music in a Minor key. To do it we have the help of The MinorSaur! Reachable ranges with simple articulations and excitement from the percussion section make this a fun way to learn new things! A dramatic introduction and easy woodwind theme help set up the powerful passages from the low voices. Timpani, Tubular Bells and Snare Drum flams help to grow a young percussion section while dynamic and articulation contrasts challenges the winds. There is even an opportunity to learn about the DS al Coda roadmap. The MinorSaur will be a band favorite from the first rehearsal to the final performance!
