About this arrangement

Concert Band - Grade 4 SKU: WJ.3015371 Composed by Scott Joplin. Arranged by John R. Bourgeois. Concert Band Grade 4 & Up. Concert and Contest. Concert and Contest. Score and parts. Wingert-Jones Publications #3015371. Published by Wingert-Jones Publications (WJ.3015371). UPC: 822424023379. 9 x 12 inches.The music in Sunflower Slow Drag is full of brightness and levity, having the light, upbeat character found in many of Joplins happiest compositions. After a brief introductory passage, the jaunty main theme appears in all its ragtime cheer, typical of Joplins works. The closing is especially reminiscent of the ending of his more famous The Entertainer and while not as well known, this cheerful four minute works deserves the same fame and popularity. Originally scored for chamber winds, optional parts have been included for larger ensembles.
