Dandy Lions

Williams, Jordan

Easy/Medium Concert Percussion

8-10 Players

"Dandy Lions" paints the picture of a young cub playing in an open field. Basic ostinatos keep the piece moving forward while a playful melody creates a sense of youth and excitement. Young players are also introduced to ornamentation within the melodic voices that makes "Dandy Lions" a blast to perform!
