Grade 2 SKU: CL.011-3457-00
Composed by Miller. Arranged by A. Clark. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR336). Lighter. Score and set of parts. Composed 2005. Duration 4 minutes, 18 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #011-3457-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-3457-00). A beautiful arrangement of one of the most memorable melodies of all time that makes a wonderful concert piece for any middle school band. Starts out quietly featuring the woodwind section (and optional choir or audience sing-a-long) and then the brass takes over and builds to a big full sound. Great piece to combine choir and band as the finale of your concert. A great message in a great song! Inspiring and impressive!
