This very approachable .5 band work was inspired by prehistoric cave paintings, and is a fun way for your students to imagine themselves transported back to ancient, primitive times. It uses primarily the first 6 notes of the Bb concert scale, along with low drums, open 5ths, and player vocalization to help evoke this ancient time before writing was developed. Starting with a mysterious slow section, “Stone Age” soon launches into a fast section which will give your students a sense of accomplishment that they can play a piece this evocative and technical.
