l Sleddin' HillDavid Shaffer. Who doesn't
remember the thrill of a rapid sled ride on a snowy
day down the longest and steepest hill? The
breathtaking journey begins by leading us into a
playful melody in the trumpets; as the sled picks up
speed we add woodwinds and clever percussion
sound effects. The ever-increasing tempo reflects
the momentum of the sled, culminating in an
exhilarating finish when the sled finally comes to an
abrupt stop.
