Clash of the Warriors

Based upon a Bulgarian folk song, this musical depiction of two warriors getting ready and ultimately battling each other begins with a mysterious and ominous statement. Use the subsequent 2+2+2+3 section to teach about the use of mixed meters while also reinforcing listening and dynamic skills. Active mallet and percussion parts will challenge your more advanced players. With varied dynamics, meter changes and interesting melodic and accompaniment lines, this composition works well as a concert closer or concert and contest selection.

 

Written using a variety of tempi and shifting moods, Clash of the Warriors is loosely based upon the Bulgarian folk song "Kaval Sviri", which depicts two warriors preparing for and
ultimately battling one another.
