The Battle Begins, Late Elementary Solo from Castle Tales Vol. 2

The Battle Begins: We bring our journey with a directive - Whose side are you on? Which way will you turn?

The strong melody line in m. 5 sets the tone for a call to action. Make sure to play with a heavy tone - shape the phrases to make the melody come alive. The contrasting B section begins in m. 14 with the Left Hand crossing over for a more lyrical sound. The return of the A section in m. 22 brings us full circle - where will the journey take us from here?

Key: C minor, with all the accidentals written in for easy teaching.

Time signature: 4/4 in a slow, Stately March.
