Kathryn Griesinger's Ballad of Burning Sky is a rollicking ballad which tells a tale from the untamed frontier of the historic Wild West. In this easy first-position piece, students can create their own legend for this original tune patterned after traditional cowboy songs of America's past. An optional piano accompaniment is included.
This original ballad features a catchy tune patterned after traditional cowboy songs. Lilting offbeat pizzicato and a steady bass line give a lighthearted feel to this upbeat melody. All sections get to practice string crossings and a few easy accidentals in first position. The changing accompaniment lines will help reinforce counting and playing independently. Students will enjoy making up their own legendary tale, perhaps of a traveling stranger in a frontier town!
