The Kraken is a legendary and mythical sea monster that inhabits the waters of the North Sea between The Netherlands and Iceland. Robert W. Smith has composed an exciting and educationally rewarding work for the young band featuring strong unison ensemble statements followed by flowing and interactive lines. Each section of the band will be challenged yet rewarded for their musical work as they develop into the strong ensemble required to conquer the powerful sea monster. An exceptional work that reinforces musical skills and concepts while motivating the young musician!
