This highly evocative work invokes the air of exotic mystery that surrounds the art of snake charming. An eastern scale, very colorful percussion writing, aleatoric techniques, and an optional loud or soft ending make "Snake Charmer" a one-of -a-kind work that adventurous bands will not want to miss. Use of the included scale study sheet will help students understand the mechanics of the music and add to their success playing what should become a classic in the young band literature.
