Zombies at the Door

A knock on the door, a ring of the doorbell, a scream and the guttural call of the zombies for “Braaaains!”. This piece uses a creepy minor key, dynamic contrasts, an ominous bass line and percussive effects to build a scary picture of zombies coming for a visit. I don’t think they want a cup of tea! Zombies at the Door was written for the Villanova College Beginner Band, an ensemble of over 100 Grade 5 boys in Coorparoo, Brisbane.
