Description
This version of Escape from Thunder Mountain by Scott Watson is part of our Alfred FLEX offerings and is designed with maximum flexibility for use by any mix of instruments---wind, strings, and percussion, including like- or mixed-ensembles with as few as 4 players. The suggested instrumentation and a customizable Teacher Map will help you plan out how to best assign parts to suit your ensemble's needs. The 4-part instrumentation will support balanced instrumentation of the lower voices. It also comes with supplemental parts for maximum flexibility. With the purchase of this piece, permission is granted to photocopy the parts as needed for your ensemble. A percussion accompaniment track is also available as a free download. String parts have been carefully edited with extra fingerings and appropriate bowings to support students in mixed ensembles playing in less familiar keys.

The tropical island volcano, Thunder Mountain, has lain dormant for years. As a party of adventurous researchers work atop the legendary mountain, it begins to shake with pre-eruption tremors! Check out this original composition by Scott Watson! (4:40)

Put this at 1.25 and that's how we played it. Jesus Christ, that was painful.

This is literally a high school/middle school band song even though I'm playing this for 5th grade band spring concert, which is CRAZY.

1st quarter: the mountain is collapsing, run. 2nd quarter: congrats, you escaped! 3rd quarter: and an anaconda is chasing you, run! 4th quarter: steer the boat.

This piece is my 2nd most favorite piece after Rock Solid. Plus, as a French horn player, my conductor told me to play a similar but altered score to help the trumpets because they are quite soft in our band.
