n Themes from An Outdoor OvertureAaron
Copland/arr. James Curnow. A marvelous adaption

Three Celtic DancesBrian Balmages. Based
on three different Scottish dance forms, this
work explores a wide variety of Celtic styles using
authentic and original material. Lively and spirited,
Movement 1, Reel, is based on the tune The Last
Pint of Ale. Well May I Behold My Faithful Brown-
Hair'd Maid is the basis for the second movement,
Air. It is presented as a slow, lyrical melody. The
final movement, Jig, is loosely based on the tune
Highlander's Jig and uses the most recognized
Celtic dance form. The piece may be performed
as a whole, but each movement stands on its own
if played individually. An excellent selection for
concert or contest.

l A Tom Sawyer PortraitRebecca Jarvis.
Mark Twain's colorful characters come to life
with a jaunty musical portrayal of Tom and Huck.
A ragtime sequence depicts the sleepy river
town where the story took place, followed by
an Americana-style ballad that is tender, lyrical
and poignant. This segues into a blues section
representing the mighty Mississippi and then
concludes with our heroes' return featuring a recap
of the good-natured opening theme.

Travelin' Musicarr. Robert Sheldon. Here's
some great fun you can't miss out on. The Arkansas
Traveler is one of the most popular and well known
of all folk songs, and it's never sounded better than
in this knee-slapping setting. Originally a fiddle tune,
this rendition is set in a Cajun-style groove and uses
a number of techniques to explore and develop the
tune in many unexpected ways. A real delight!

in a relentless manner to the final climax which
glistens brilliantly like gold itself.
