Grade 2 SKU: CL.011-4618-00
Composed by La Plante. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR395). Score and set of parts. Composed 2018. Duration 1 minute, 42 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #011-4618-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-4618-00). Travelin' Music will send you travelin along with this lively setting of an old timey fiddle tune written back in the 1850's, that we know as the Arkansas Traveler. Because the tune is somewhat pentatonic, and this brilliant setting by Pierre La Plante changes key and is masterfully scored, it is easily playable by all sections. A great addition to the young band spring concert. Sure to be a toe-tapping favorite of listeners and performers!
