CONCERT MUSIC FOR BANDS (Volume 2)

CONCERT MUSIC FOR BANDS (Volume 2) includes two pieces suitable for high school, community, and college bands, grade level 4. The book includes conductor full score and parts for each individual instrument.CLOUD RIDER:This ominous piece is confident and determined, a mysterious journey undertaken by a being not bound to the earth. The emotions evoked vary throughout and the path taken is intricate, but it continually returns to the main theme which implies constant motion and forging ahead at all costs into an unknown eventuality.RAGTIME SALOON:Listeners are taken away to a dark but joyful watering hole of yesteryear where the spirits flow freely and the good times are enjoyed in excess. Syncopated rhythms are reminiscent of the earliest days of jazz, and the melody is unforgettable. M.C.S.
