Found in a Gardner's Shed - Concert Band

"This piece is meant to be a percussion centric piece, with sounds based on gardening items.  The 'Terracotta Toccata' of course is the bright orange clay pots.  Meant to sound as bright as the color, and let the band show off their technique, as a toccata should.  'Seeds on the hardwood floor' is meant to help to help our teachers hit the NAfME 'Create' standard.  I have found that this standard can be difficult to focus on when rehearsing for the concert.  This movement forces it a little.  It uses no metallic percussion, focusing on wooden and shaker-type sounds.  'Scythe, Sickle, and Shears' however, is the opposite mostly using metallic percussion and some interesting effects for the timpani."
