for Wind Band (Grade 4)
Korats are a breed of cat originating in Thailand looking very similar to
the Russian Blue and the Chartreux, but with a heart-shaped face rather
than a round one. They’re rare outside of Thailand, but I am lucky to
own one. This short concert opener or closer depicts a few things about
the Korat: their intensity in making demands, bonding closely with their
owners, their playfulness, and their striking but lovely appearance.
