The Curse of Tutankhamun: Flexible Band/String Ensemble Score & Parts

This version of The Curse of Tutankhamun by Michael Story is part of our Belwin 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 5 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. 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.

Inspired by the illness experienced in the 1920s by scientists exploring the tomb of the boy-pharaoh Tutankhamun, Michael Story's work musically traces the history from the discovery of the tomb through the mysterious curse. In Belwin's FLEX format, this delightful work will capture your students' imagination. Both intense and enjoyable, this work is highly recommended.(2:45)
