Eureka! - Score

Eureka! is inspired by the California Gold Rush of the mid-1800s. The music is composed in a celebratory, Americana style reminiscent of Wild West movie soundtracks. The main melody encompases just the first five notes of the Bb major scale, but all the notes of Bb major, plus an Ab, are used. Repeated eighth notes and some syncopation in the accompaniment keep the energy going. Celebrate the joy of discovery with Eureka! Correlates with Tradition of Excellence Book 1, page 30.
