Katrina's Call

⚡ The Short Version

A tune with a story. I composed Katrina's Call to honor the generosity shown to a company's employees after Hurricane Katrina — a celebratory, upbeat, majestic 4/4 march.

Give the double-dot nearly the whole beat. The double-dotted eighth note gets almost the entire beat, leaving the paired 32nd note as just a tiny sliver — that's what gives the tune its lift.

Structure mirrors Scotland the Brave. The first two bars of the first line repeat as the last two bars of the tune, so once you know the first part, the ending is already familiar.
