Inspired by the legendary Robin Hood, "Hero of Sherwood!" is an action packed and accessible concert band piece designed for beginner level bands. The composition uses only the first six notes of the Bb scale and manages to capture a cinematic atmosphere with shifting moods that evoke the daring escapades of Sherwood Forest. From bold, heroic statements to moments of suspense and mystery, young performers will have the opportunity to experience expressive playing, while remaining approachable for developing ensembles.
