THE BEASTIE STOMP
The Beastie Stomp is a result of the composer’s
desire to write a piece in a “spooky” mood for
young players. The piece combines a few of the
musical clichés associated with goblins, ghosts
and magic spells: the interval of the augmented
fourth (sometimes called the “devil’s interval”), a
manic bass line inspired by the old “Batman” TV
series, and spoken words in which the performers
are asked to create their most imaginative howls,
groans and screeches (think of Boris Karloff in
Frankenstein, or Dorothy’s nemesis, the “Wicked
Witch of the West”).
