Aleatoric music for grade 1? Why not?! Through carefully controlled parameters, your beginning players can actually create their own erupting volcano effect! Mazama was the imposing mountain peak in southwest Oregon that erupted 7000+ years ago and became the serene and beautiful present day Crater Lake. Fires of Mazama opens with bold sounds and powerful melodies before the “eruption” changes everything. Afterwards, a calm chorale leads to the exciting final strains in this ingenious and impressive piece for beginners! Dur: 3:20.

Fantastic
I played this in a band at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. It's a fantastic sounding piece, one that can really shock the audience if played correctly. But if an instrument plays too early, or too late, then it sounds horrible. That's the only challenging thing about it.
