00-51831
Belwin Beginning Band
Grade: 1
Open your next concert with this energetic Spanish-flavored piece from composer Michael Story. Featuring bold melodies and colorful harmonies, La Serpiente (The Snake) will evoke images of Flamenco dancers and bullfights. With a variety of instrumental colors and dynamic contrasts, the piece will also serve as a worthy introduction to the Spanish Phrygian scale. (1:30)
