The Firebird: 1st Percussion

A controversial piece at its premiere performance, The Firebird quickly became standard repertoire for symphony orchestras. The suite contains a thrilling "thunderclap" in the wonderful conclusion. This arrangement of The Firebird was transcribed for developing bands, introducing young musicians to Stravinsky and this 20th Century musical composition. Tremendous classic repertoire for your young band! (3:00) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
