Armenian Rhapsody—arr. Johnnie Vinson.
The music of Armenia, with its rich history of folk
songs, has a fascinating uniqueness and distinctive
flavor. This appealing setting uses five traditional
Armenian melodies in a rhapsodic approach.
Bold statements and driving rhythmic figures are
combined and contrasted with beautiful yet simple
melodies in a work that provides both excitement
and variety.

Brave Spirit—Randall D. Standridge. This
authentic work captures the spirit of Chinese music
beautifully with the use of a pentatonic scale, a
synthesized mandolin, and solos for flute and
piccolo. Brave Spirit begins with a slow introduction
featuring a flute/piccolo duet, then launches into
a stirring, tom-tom driven fast section. A peaceful
middle section featuring the synthesized mandolin
sound interjects before the fast melody returns to
bring this wonderful Chinese-style band work to a
stirring conclusion!

H British Isles Suite—arr. Larry Daehn. Here's
a remarkably well-done suite based on familiar
folk tunes from the British Isles. They're tunes
that almost everyone knows and loves, and Larry
Daehn's skillful arrangement is very attractive
and very playable by bands at this level. You'll
really be able to develop this piece to its finest
for your next program! Includes: Marching Song
(Britons, Raise Your Banners High and March
for the Men of Harlech); Barbara Allen; and
Farewell Dundee (Adieu Dundee and Auld Lang
Syne). Captivating!

Celtic Farewell—Michael Sweeney. Music has
the power to help us heal after the loss of loved
ones. Here the beloved traditional Scottish ballad
The Parting Glass is combined with an original
melody to create a beautifully paced and sensitive
musical memorial. A key element of this work is
the use of Highland bagpipes that adds to the
Celtic flavor. If a pipe player is not available, this
part is cued in multiple band parts or you can use
a synthesizer with bagpipe patch. A moving tribute
for any memorial.

El Choclo (Argentine Tango)—A. G. Villoldo/arr.
Longfield. The title won't seem familiar but once
they hear the melody, your audience is bound to
recognize it. The skillful arrangement of this stately
Latin classic adapts very well to the concert band
and is sure to provide variety and listening appeal
to your performance.

Greek Folk Song Suite—Franco Cesarini. The
passion and infectious rhythms of Greek folk are
what this fine three-movement work for band
is all about! Each movement has its own unique
character and charm, but you will surely be carried
away by the third movement, that recalls the sirtaki,
the most popular Greek dance, characterized by a
grand accelerando. "My Big, Fat Greek Wedding"
and the spin-off television show has made Greek
culture familiar to audiences everywhere, so it's a
great time to program captivating Greek folk music!

l Irish Lullaby (Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral)—
arr. Carl Strommen. Originally written in 1913,
the recording of this popular Irish ballad was #1
on the music charts of the time. The gentle and
lilting melody has survived the test of time and
continues to move listeners to this day. A penny
whistle solo, cued for flute, adds to the character
of the setting.

This unique setting of this well-known song will
be the highlight of concert programs at Christmas
time and throughout the year as well. The wistful
quality of the legend is captured here by a

lush harmonies. Imaginative colors, including

throughout, and the hauntingly beautiful ending will

Legends and Heroes (American Folksong Suite
No. 1)—Pierre LaPlante. This folksong-based trilogy
is sure to become a standard in the band repertoire!
It's comprised of three folksongs of differing styles
and cultural backgrounds, each of which pay tribute
to a legendary hero. The Irish immigrant tune from
the 1840's Patrick On The Railways; the familiar
Sweet Betsy and the African-American spiritual
Little David, Play On combine to make a varied and
interesting work for developing bands!

Loch Lomond—arr. Frank Ticheli. This exquisite
composition gives your band a chance to broaden
their expressive capabilities. The final statement of
the theme is particularly enchanting as the melody
is intertwined with the Irish tune Danny Boy. This
is a fine addition to the library of bands at both the
medium-easy and medium levels.

l My Old Kentucky Home—Stephen Foster/arr.
Jeremy S. Martin. A beautiful ballad in its own
right, this arrangement of the famous folk song is
given even more flexibility with an added optional
vocal solo. Whether or not the vocalist is used, the
ranges are conservative and the countermelodies
and harmonies are rich, always embellishing the
well-loved melody.

The Rains of Scarborough Fair—arr. Randall
D. Standridge. Scarborough Fair is simply one
of the most beautiful and haunting melodies
of all time. This setting of the melancholy tune
captures the mood of a gray and rainy afternoon,
perfectly matching the sounds of gently falling
rain and distant rumbles of thunder. Though not
essential, sound effect recordings of distant rain
and thunder can be added for additional appeal
and interest.

The Shady Grove—arr. Travis J. Weller.
This memorable Civil War-era folk song has a
distinctively haunting quality that one can't help
but be affected by. The moving melody opens the
piece on a slightly melancholy note that leads to the
main, spirited middle section that glistens with good-
natured rhythmic activity. Adding to the authenticity,
the entertaining addition of washboard and spoons
brings this catchy bluegrass tune to life, helping us
connect to this delightful American folk song.

Shalom!—arr. Philip Sparke. Renowned composer
Philip Sparke brings elements of the long history
of Jewish folksong to life in this rich and varied
suite for concert band! A wide spectrum of moods
are presented in the three movements including
traditional songs: V'ha'ir Shushan; Havdala; Hanerot
Halalu; Ba'olam Haba; Mishenichnas Adar; Ani Purim
and Yom Tov Lanu. All movements together take over
nine minutes to perform, but each movement can
stand alone as well, making this appropriate for
concert, contest and holiday programs. We are proud
to give this our highest recommendation!
