Description
Musically depicting a meteor event that occurs in the Earth's atmosphere each day, this energetic composition provides the opportunity to teach dramatic playing. With very few notes and rhythms that are no more complex than quarter notes, eighth-note rhythms are introduced through clapping and stomping. The brighter the meteor, the more rare the event. (2:15) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

You do not know how many years I've been trying to remember this song. I played it in my grade 8 band class when I was learning to play piano from said class, and this is, I think, the first song I could flawlessly play (though us pianists got flute music), and forgot the name and just always knew the tune and notes and could play it. It has been 4 freaking years.

I am a trumpet player for OFMS band. We got this song a month ago for 6th grade band and we have a concert on December 13th. If I do say so myself, our band has nailed it! Last thing: when there are 14 secs left, best trumpet part ever!!

I have to play this in band. It's a really cool song but it's pretty complicated with all the piano and forte around in it

@fijisharbrough YouTube

Had to play all of the brass parts, not just the trombone parts. Such a fun song to play!

@Miah-c2g YouTube

the clapping and stomping are so hard to do and then measure nine, that's just a hard transition. (i play euphonium)

As a clarinet, I say the first clarinet solo is hard because you don't have time to breathe and when you get to whole note you can barely play. When u get to when all instruments join in

Lol my band is lacking instruments, we only have one baritone, five flutes, five clarinets, two saxophones, six trumpets, and six percussionists 😂 we are lacking low brass so the way we play this song is horrible. I play the flute
