For Flexible Ensemble. Composed by Claude T. Smith. Arranged by Earp. Young Concert Band. Score and set of parts. Composed 2021. Claude T. Smith Publications #CTS-8012-00. Published by Claude T. Smith Publications (CL.CTS-8012-00). Dedicated to William (Bill) Maupin, a friend and fellow music educator of Claude T. Smith, Castlebrooke Overture is a perfect piece to introduce younger ensembles to meter changes and a couple measures in 3/8 time. This flexible arrangement allows ensembles to perform the work with as few as ten musicians providing accessibility and flexibility for numerous instrumentation needs, while still allowing a full ensemble sound. *The posted recording is based on the full band scoring but aligns with the suggested preferences for either woodwinds/strings or brass suggested in the score.
