Contemporary harmonies and interesting colors are at the center of this innovative work. While well within the ability of young musicians, this piece has an uncharacteristically mature sound that will captivate your audience. After a mesmerizing lyrical opening, percussion begins the savage dance that grows more and more powerful as the piece progresses. Optional percussionists throughout the audience can enhance the entire experience as the dancers continue till utter exhaustion and collapse to the ground. Very compelling!

Appropriate for middle school and smaller high school groups. Second clarinets usually stay below the break. Parts are written with more independence, and instrumentation increases slightly. There is still adequate doubling in the lower voices. Grades 2 - 2.5

In Zach Docter's Prairie Dance, every instrument gets a chance to shine. A simple tune starts in the clarinets. As it's passed through the ensemble, it grows louder before culminating in a rhythmic Americana-esque hoedown that would make Copland proud. After this spirited climax, the tune winds down before ending quietly with the clarinets, precisely as it began. Every instrument group is featured in this piece. Transparency allows students to gain experience playing in thin textures, which may be a new experience at this grade level. (1:50).
