Giant's Lair

Giant s Lair is an edgy and exciting piece for very young band to perform on one of their first concerts. The melodic material in the outer sections portrays an agitated giant stopping around violently, and the middle section simulates an unfortunate visitor to his cave tip-toeing around in an attempt to avoid being spotted. The form of the piece is intuitive and memorable while only using five notes. Young students will learn it quickly and it can be prepared for a concert in a reasonably short amount of time.
