Andrew Glover's "Roller Coaster!" portrays in music the anticipation, excitement, thrill, terror, and exhilaration of a trip on the scariest of all amusement park rides! Starting ominously, and with interesting percussion effects to emulate a classic roller coaster, we gradually build in speed and intensity until we climb the to the top, then WHOOSH! Away we go at dizzying speeds! Excellent teaching material for chromatics, this fun musical work will become a favorite of your students and audiences. We double-dare you to ride this "Roller Coaster!".
