terracotta army

Composed by Steve Robson specifically for our Flexi-Collection World Tour Series.  Inspired by this wonder of the world, the piece embraces the Chinese style of music which often uses the pentatonic scale. It’s a sequence which is something quite unusual to our ears in the western world and can be quickly demonstrated by playing only the black notes on the piano. Luckily for the players, this version has been put into an easier key, but still retains the distinctive sounds. Each part includes a rudimentary theory reference sheet and Learn Together Moments for group warm-ups; the score also includes background information and Check It Out ideas to encourage the players to find out more.
