Rattler Ridge

Picture cowboys riding across the saguaro-filled desert during the day, and at night, bedding down under the star-studded sky. In this descriptive piece, inspired by the Arizona desert, the composer has created a picturesque audience pleaser with a unique opening followed by catchy rhythms, accessible syncopation and rich textures. the percussion section will have fun creating the sound of the 'rattle,' an imitation of the desert diamondback. An advanced snare drum part is available.
