Creatures in the Attic - Brain Balmages - FJH Starter Series

Creatures in the Attic
Brain Balmages
Grade 0.5
Series: Starter
"I have a little secret that I'll no longer keep. Explaining lots of little sounds when everyone's asleep..." So begins the poem that can be read by a student or faculty member before the performance. Mysterious effects and easy aleatoric passages combine to create a sinister background from which the creatures emerge. Imaginative and fun writing for the youngest of bands!
