"The Scary Sleigh Ride" is a musical parody on the winter sleigh ride for educational string orchestra and sleigh bells (Grade 2.5). The original theme begins ominously at an easy trot and the main theme returns at a faster tempo each time. As the piece develops, the minor folk melody Troika (Sleigh Ride) is played in two keys and suspense builds as the chant Dies Irae (Day of Wrath) is introduced and becomes a cantus firmus driving to an exciting and comical ending. Voiced entirely in the lower positions for all string sections, this piece employs the keys of E minor and G minor. Many skill building techniques, including important bowing articulations for all sections and grace notes in the first violins, are introduced making this piece both educational and fun to perform at a Winter program. The duration is approximately 2.5 minutes.
