It was composed in 2020 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first women to be admitted into the Notre Dame Concert Band. The university was an all-male school from its founding in 1842. The Notre Dame Band was formed during the 1845-46 academic year. The university became co-educational with the admission of women in 1972. Two years earlier, in 1970, the band director Robert F. O'Brien, secured permission for women from nearby St. Mary's College (the official sister school of Notre Dame) to be part of the Notre Dame Band. Appropriate to the theme of Daughters of Erin, selections include The Bells of St. Mary's, I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen, and two Irish Jigs: Girls of Our Town and The Women of Kilkenny. Daughters of Erin celebrates all the women who have performed in the University of Notre Dame Band for the past fifty years, and all who will follow in their footsteps in the years to come. Cues have been provided and should only be used where necessary.

Imagine the ominous sound of an oncoming storm rumbling through a prehistoric forest, punctuated by the lumbering footsteps of the T-Rex, shaking the ground as it advances on its prey. T-Rex allows your orchestra to paint this dramatic picture, thrilling the audience with its bold depiction of an ancient, mighty beast!.
T-Rex (Tyrannosaurus Rex) is a miniature tone poem for a young string orchestra.The story: The ominous sound of an oncoming storm (Thundersheet) rumbles through the night in a prehistoric forest. The lumbering footsteps of a giant beast (m. 1: half-notes played by celli and basses) cause the ground to tremble. It is T-Rex, Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Tyrant King (m. 3: 1st violins, m. 11: celli and basses). It surveys its kingdom in a regal pose (m. 27: tutti). The storm begins (m. 41: staccato notes and Thunder Sheet). Tyrannosaurus Rex hones in on its prey (m. 43: celli and basses). There is no escape (m. 49 to end: tutti).Percussion: A sound effect for thunder is necessary. The Worldwide Web contains much information on this subject. Just search “Thundersheet.”1. If a real Thundersheet is not available, a prepared Bass Drum may be used. The batter headshould be loosened for the lowest possible sound. It can be placed on its side. Have the rollsplayed with two bass drum mallets or two felt mallets.2. Synthesizers have certain sound effects which resemble thunder.3. A polystyrene Thundersheet is small and light enough for a young player.4. A large sheet of aluminum may be available at a home improvement store. While wearingprotective gloves, the percussion player shakes the aluminum sheet to create the standard, orchestral thunder sound effect.Thank you for choosing this composition. I hope your students and audience will find it instructive and enjoyable.
