"A Minor Thought" by Nathaniel O'Neal

List Price: $37.00
Price: $32.00

Difficulty: Easy (great for middle school & beginning high school steel bands)

"A Minor Thought" introduces students to the minor key and minor scales. The tenors have a simple melody and serve in more of an accompanimental role, which allows the other voices to shine. Letter C is a bass section solo built around an arpeggio. I would recommend starting this section early in the learning process to allow the bass pan players to feel comfortable with movements. The piece ends with a fadeout at the letter E. I recommend keeping students still as the sound fades out to nothing. The drumset player uses a onedrop reggae beat on the ride cymbal during letters B and D.
