About this arrangement

Concert Band - Grade 2 SKU: BT.CMP-0420-00-040 Composed by Elliot Del Borgo. Passport Series. Festive and Solemn Music. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2000. Curnow Music #CMP 0420-00-040. Published by Curnow Music (BT.CMP-0420-00-040). Interesting counterpoint brings the minor key "Ballad of John Riley" to your band with style. Allowing for some good melodic playing from the tenor instruments (Trombone, F Horn, Tenor Saxophone) and later including the Bass Instruments in the melody, each section is important in this treatment of the somber folk tune. Great vehicle for studying phrasing and controlled performance at this level!
