Rocky Mountain Romp: Xylophone (Opt. Bells)

This symphonic hoedown is reminiscent of Aaron Copland and salutes the rich traditions of the Rocky Mountains. Spirited melodies intertwine with engaging, easily achievable rhythms as the work evokes images of the West. Ideal for contest or festival, this piece will also work well for the lighter portion of your program. An optional advanced snare drum part is included for your developing percussionists.
