Par BULLA STEPHEN. Spirited rhythms underpin three great Old West songs in Stephen Bulla’s Along Came the Cowboys. You’ll find a bonanza of great teaching tools in this Western extravaganza: phrase extensions, style contrasts, dynamic and articulation considerations, rhythmic counterpoint, and much more. Your young musicians will really enjoy playing music that employs the types of mechanisms standardised by decades of cowboy movie underscoring. This is something your students can definitely get into! What a great supporting assignment to have your students try to find examples of comparable musical treatments on their movie videos and DVDs. / Niveau : 2.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band
