Brass Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.927014 Composed by Charles Johnson (1908). Arranged by Dr. Jim Fox. 20th Century,Folk,Ragtime,Traditional. Score and parts. 73 pages. All Brass Radio Publishing #3469858. Published by All Brass Radio Publishing (A0.927014). A fast two-step rag from 1908. The melody travels from section to section. As a two-step rag, it is written to go fast, about 132 bpm. This would be a good concert in the park piece as it is flashy, and fun to play and listen to. It has wonderful parts for every instrument in the brass band. It is a finger twister, but once the band has it under its fingers, it shines as a rag written 110 years ago and captures the ragtime feel. It is a bit on the difficult size and will take some rehearsal even for the top bands. Once the piece is worked up, and has been polished under a fine MD, it becomes something wonderful and worth the extra effort.
