Thus Spoke the Raven

This is a fabulous piece for young bands!  Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's dark and mysterious poem "The Raven," the piece makes the most of what each section is capable of doing at this level, and creates an exciting, stimulating work of music.  The musical rhythms actually mirror the spoken rhythms of the poem.  With pulsing staccato accompaniments, an exhilarating ostinato and stimulating syncopation, this piece has it all!
