It contains bold fanfare gestures, marcato melodic material, and a contrasting legato theme. Every section of the ensemble is featured in this surprisingly sophisticated, yet very attainable piece.

The Highland Games is a heroic and daring piece that draws inspiration from the annual Highland Games in Scotland. A Gaelic tune is passed through different sections of the orchestra and is followed by a building secondary theme. This brings the piece to new heights in a flowing legato section, depicting the breeze blowing through the lush grass of the Scottish Highlands. The primary theme makes its appearance again in different variations for an epic closing to this gallant piece. The Highland Games will help players practice ostinato and play quick melodic patterns.
