“Three Slightly Epic Movements” is a piece consisting of 3 contrasting shorter sections. The first section exposes the performer to cut time an rhythmic hocket. The middle section has a thick harmonic texture, followed by the concluding up-tempo portion of the piece. The titled movements all contain either some play on words or reference to how it was constructed. See if any of your students can catch them.
