Walnut Grove Suite [Alf:81-CB2483]

This suite opens with Fraser River Fanfare which reflects the treacherous western Canadian river. In the second movement, entitled A Swallow in the Valley, the folk song She's Like the Swallow is the source. Fort Langley March rounds out this work. This is written in the tradition of early twentieth century military band marches. It contains some unusual harmonic twists which only enhances interest.
