- Bazaar takes the listener on a musical trip to the exotic markets of the Middle East. Spices, beautiful fabrics, and priceless treasures litter the stalls while noise, aromas, and laughter fill the air. The use of an altered scale and colorful percussion add to the exotic feel of this work, making this an exciting musical journey your students will be clamoring to play!
