Imagine riding through Camelot on a quest to save the kingdom. Every player will be the hero in this medieval inspired tune, Camelot Quest by Katie Katie O'Hara LaBrie. Written in E minor, students will be introduced to D-sharps through low 1st finger as well as dotted-quarter rhythms in every part. Students and audiences alike will love the mixed energy of marcato ostinato patterns vs. the legato melodies. The journey concludes with a joust-like battle, adding excitement to any concert or festival program. Optional percussion adds to the medieval flair. (2:45) This title is available in SmartMusic.
