The Lost City

The Lost City will inspire your students to create a musical story about ancient and forgotten civilizations. The Lost City is proud and grand, with sweeping landscapes and a strong sense of an older time. The musical tale will engage imaginations as the students perform. The Lost City explores E natural minor without accidentals. Two-part writing allows all instruments to play melody and harmony. Some independent movement creates depth and passing tones. The music’s character results from accents, slurs, hooked bows, and E minor tonality, which will bring The Lost City to life for your string orchestra. (2:00)
