North Country Celebration [Alf:00-32466]

With a theme that is reminiscent of an English Morris Dance tune, this cheerful original is scored to lie easily under the fingers of beginning wind players. Cast in a modified rondo form, ample doublings and rich chord voicings help to achieve a solid top-to-bottom ensemble sound. Subtle articulations and dynamic nuances add just the right dash of color in this musically satisfying offering for concert audiences. Bravo! This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
