This work is suggestive of his dramatic encounter with the sirens, famous for luring sailors to their death with their beguiling wind-like song. In this descriptive piece you can hear the wind-song becoming evermore insistent, the rocking of the ship, Odysseus' screams, and finally the sirens plunging to their death as they fail in their attempt to lure Odysseus.  BandQuest®, an exciting series of new music and accompanying curricula for band, is a program published by the American Composers Forum. The series was started as a response to feedback from music educators that there is a pressing need for new, fresh band music. The heart of this program is new works written by a diverse group of leading American composers who have created challenging pieces that are a true departure from standard middle school repertoire. Every BandQuest project includes a residency component in which the composer works collaboratively with a middle school as they create their new piece.Many BandQuest pieces are accompanied by an interdisciplinary curriculum designed to assist students as they learn the music and to integrate each piece with non-music studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eInventory # :  04002769\u003cbr\u003e\nUPC:  884088266363\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN:  \u003cbr\u003e\nWidth:  9\"\u003cbr\u003e\nLength:  12\"\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight:  0.065\"\u003cbr\u003e\nProduct Weight:  0.2 lbs.\u003cbr\u003e\nNumber of Pages:  18\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Composers Forum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49340312027430,"sku":"04002769","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/6a8e1127-9d18-5d25-8c85-c47ce463042c_c0c28b9c-f926-439e-bdd6-882d805bbed9.jpg?v=1722684711","url":"https:\/\/retrostarmusic.com\/products\/bandquest-odysseus-and-the-sirens-score-only-score","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
