Pistoleros by Brian Slawson is an energetic work that is perfect for less experienced ensembles, taking inspiration from old spaghetti westerns and on-screen gunslingers. This piece is designed to capture the energy of an anxious, high-tension battle, but it remains accessible! It is written for 13 players.
