One moment…

This energetic piece is a simulation of a horse race. All the emotions and thrill of a race can be felt in this work. This piece for very young band and optional choir was commissioned by Northern Dancer P.S., which was named after the famous Canadian racehorse. The snare and toms help to keep the horse moving forward while the winds perform the bold and stately theme. There is a moment of tension and suspense as the horse and rider can see they are not in the lead. But they triumph and the race is won!

Why we love this

The narrative arc of this piece gives very young bands a concrete musical story to execute rather than abstract musical concepts. Younger players respond powerfully when they understand what they're depicting, and a horse race provides immediate, tactile imagery that translates directly into execution: the percussion drives the momentum, the winds carry the melody with confidence, and the dramatic arc of suspense followed by victory sustains engagement across an entire group performance.

What to expect

The piece captures the raw energy and forward propulsion of a galloping horse, complete with the mounting tension of competition and the exhilaration of a hard-won victory. Rhythmic percussion drives relentlessly beneath soaring melodic passages, creating a visceral sense of speed and power.

Who it's for

Very young concert bands in Grades K through 2 seeking repertoire with strong narrative engagement and clear musical goals. The optional choir component allows flexible casting depending on your program's ensemble makeup.

How to get the most out of it

Keep the snare and tom patterns crisp and consistent; they are the engine that propels the entire work forward, so establish that pulse as your foundational element early in rehearsal.
Shape the moment of tension and suspense with intentional dynamic control and ensemble cohesion so the contrast with the triumphant finish lands with full impact.
Balance the winds' bold theme against the percussion drive so the melody is clearly heard without the rhythm section overpowering the harmonic foundation.

How to use it

Program this as an opening concert piece to set an energetic tone and establish immediate audience engagement through its vivid programmatic content. It also works well on a school assembly or special event program where the horse race theme connects meaningfully to your school's name or identity.
