ANTHEM OF THE MOUNTAIN YETI
Caryn Wiegand Neidhold Carl Fischer JWPepper Editor's Choice Grade 1.5 Imagine the mysterious and wild spirit of the legendary Abominable Snowman. The piece features the signature yeti call in the trombone and horn sections, evoking the untamed wilderness and towering cliffs. Most of the notes are played in a staccato style, with a contrasting legato section. The trombone and horn glissandi add to the chaotic, unpredictable nature reminiscent of the yeti, with a sudden change to a calmer section before returning to the wild energy. This exciting and vibrant work captures the legendary creature's essence. |
