WORKS WITH FLEXIBLE INSTRUMENTATION
Mechanical Monsters (Flexible Instrument-
ation)—Randall D. Standridge. Shambling
creatures made of metal come to life in this eerie
offering for beginning band. The first six notes
taught (plus one extra accidental!) are utilized in a
unique fashion to create a work that sounds much
more difficult than it is. Playful interplay of eighth
notes, metallic percussion, and moments for the
winds to "hiss" and play rhythms on their stands
combine to great effect in this flexible work that is
sure to grab your players' attention.
