Imaginative, crisp scoring and a constant rhythmic drive energetically propel this fresh new take on Yankee Doodle from start to finish. Originally used by British Soldiers to mock the American Colonists during the Revolutionary War, the Colonists used Yankee Doodle as a rallying song when the tide of war turned in their direction. Your students should rallyaround this stirring, very fun setting featuring mixed meters and engag ing parts for all instruments, which could be used as an attention-getting opener or bring down the house closer!
