Perilous Seas
Perilous Seas - E. Benton Lilliefors
Set sail into adventure with Perilous Seas, a fast and fiery Grade 1.5 work by E. Benton Lilliefors. Beginning with a slow, ominous introduction, the piece quickly launches into an aggressive 3/4 minor-mode battle between band and percussion—pirate crew versus sea monster. Low brass melodies and woodwind countermelodies bring the swashbuckling story to life, while creative percussion writing fuels the action. With its cinematic pacing and imaginative narrative, Perilous Seas is a thrilling choice for concert or festival programs that your students will love to play.
