Sci-Fi Ballad for Grade 1 Concert Band - STANDARD score.

[This purchase includes PDFs of the SCORE, PARTS, Melody and Rhythm Sheets, and SmartMusic Link for the STANDARD Score. FLEX arrangement sold seperately.]

"Marooned Martian" is the perfect ballad for Grade 1 Concert Band that sounds like it's been ripped straight out of your favorite space opera! As your musicians work together to build this piece, the Martian's spaceship comes to life and blasts off into outer space! Your LOW BRASS will dig the opportunity to ROAR during the spaceship's launch and even your PERCUSSIONISTS will ask to play this ballad as they create the wild sounds of the spaceship's broken gadgets!

Here's the story behind the piece!

"A Martian explorer has crash-landed on a distant planet. Alone for some time, his hopes of finding help on or off-world are unlikely and he desperately longs for home. Looking out at the stars, his heart breaks with the deepest  loneliness he has ever felt and his despair nearly consumes him.      Survival instinct kicks in. Our Martian realizes he must take fate into his own hands. With limited time and  resources, he resolves to repair his ship and escape the planet. His pensive loneliness transforms into  stoic determination as his damaged vessel turns into a fully functional spaceship blasting off and breaking through the atmosphere! Looking out at the stars again, he still feels the intense loneliness that nearly broke him earlier. He’s got a long way to go before he makes it home."
