Legends of the Canyon

Is there something under the bed? Find out in this clever, late elementary solo with lyrics. The melody plays back and forth between the right and left hand in some passages. In others, it remains in the right hand accompanied by the left. Written in 4/4 time and in the key of a minor, the solo contains two verses. Students will want to play to the end to find out what is under the bed.

This early intermediate solo is excellent for developing a keen listening ear, finely tuned to the sounds one might hear in canyon echoes. The slow tempo and key of G minor help to create the mysterious atmosphere. Written entirely using fifths in both hands with exacting dynamic variations, the syncopated damper pedal helps to create a rich palette of sound. The ABA form will aid in learning and memorizing.
