Publisher Desc.  Sleepy Hollow portrays the story of Ichabod Crane being chased through Sleepy Hollow by the Headless Horseman from the short story by Washington Irving, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The driving rhythms and detached style represent the racing of the horses through the forest. The introduction of the Dies Irae theme represent the darkness and impending doom of the Headless Horseman as he pursues Ichabod Crane through the woods of Sleepy Hollow. The work is a great introduction to the detached style and accents for the beginning string ensemble and is in E Dorian to create a dark modal feel. A Great addition to your Fall Concert.
