folksongs, this piece opens with the touching and
melodious The Parting Glass. The flutes and

Down on the Delta—Carol Brittin Chambers. A
salute to the musical culture of the Mississippi
Delta region. A soulful opening chorale becomes
a high-steppin' hoe-down before transitioning to a
slow, bluesy swing, then it closes out with more
dancing. Very comfortable ranges and rhythms.
A rare opportunity for young concert bands to
experience this style.

El Manto Dorado (Concert March)—Jorge

Golden Cape." Driving rhythms and memorable
melodies abound in this dazzling offering that will
showcase the best in your developing musicians
