4 The Rains of Scarborough Fairarr. 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.

4 Scottish Highland OvertureNathan Jones.
Take a musical stroll through the Scottish highlands
with this picturesque selection. This overture
is based on an original melody with a Scottish-
sounding flair. It opens in a lively and articulated
style, based loosely in the Dorian mode. The slower
middle section features a flowing horn solo, followed
by a return to the opening material that marches the
music forward to its rousing Celtic conclusion.

4 The Shady Grovearr. Travis J. Weller. This
memorable Civil War-era folk song has a distinctively
haunting quality. The moving melody opens the
piece on a slightly melancholy note that leads to
the spirited middle section, glistening 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.

stand alone as well, making this appropriate for
concert, contest and holiday programs. We are proud
to give this our highest recommendation!

n BandoramaLarry Clark & Sandy Feldstein.
In the very first performance of this piece, the
conductor performed with over 850 musicians!
Talk about a "Band-o-rama"! For years, directors
have asked for pieces that can be performed with
mass bands, whether as a culminating number
in a multi-school concert, or as a recruitment
tool to keep younger bandsmen motivated. In
some instances, one school will have multiple
bands, each at a different ability level. This piece
will meet the need if any of this sounds familiar
to you. The amazing aspect of this piece, is
that the "sets" that encompass three levels of
difficulty, elementary, middle or junior high,
and high school, work as an independent piece.
The music simply gets better as the groups are
combined. What a great idea!
