Gladiator attempts to capture the intensity of the magnificent colosseum using only about six different pitches. Utilizing the first six notes learned (with a couple of exceptions at the end), everything centers around a concert "d," creating a ominous Phrygian sound. For the wind players, there are only quarter, half, and whole notes throughout. However, this is a great piece to focus on proper counting. To create the chaos that a gladiator would experience (and to generate rhythmic interest), there is much variation on strong beat/weak beat entrances. This can challenge students while the create a sound much different than the standard "C minor" that is often utilized for first year students. HAVE FUN!
