4 The Banks of the Delaware—Stuart P. O'Neil.
A distinct blend of woodland and prairie, the
northeast region of Kansas is among the most
beautiful in the state, and the Delaware River is
one of many meandering through its lush and
rolling landscape. This piece opens with a clarinet
solo that builds into the full ensemble. This lyrical
setting is reminiscent of American folk music.
Ample doubling of parts is provided for bands
with less than ideal instrumentation.
