Brooks-Rapid Transit (SP)-B/V/X/M/P

Forward momentum is the key to this piece by Chris Brooks. A brisk metronome marking of 204 will have your students on a bullet train through the concert hall. The non-pitched voices take over in this ensemble work supported by rhythmic chord changes and driving scale passages from the keyboard voices.
