Program Notes
The mascot for the Summerfield Charter Academy is the Stampede and their motto is 'Better Together’ which inspired this piece. Stampede begins with the galloping rhythm of the stampede getting closer and more energetic. The middle section shares a melody among all four players on glockenspiel. Each player is only responsible for their few notes, but when combined, create a beautiful lullaby, solidifying that the players are truly better together. Stampede is a lively piece for young percussionists and a wonderful introduction to mallet playing for a first ensemble piece. It is perfect for band programs that require glockenspiel and want to get the students excited about playing mallet instruments.
