About this arrangement

Concert Band - Grade 2.5 SKU: BT.CMP-0727-03-040 Composed by Mike Hannickel. National Heritage Series. Original Light Music. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2003. Curnow Music #CMP 0727-03-040. Published by Curnow Music (BT.CMP-0727-03-040). Two melodies in the Scottish style meet head-on in this energetic new arrangement. Your students will love the “bagpipe sound” and rhythmic color of the Scottish “snap”. This arrangement can also be used with young bands as a lesson in the concept of counterpoint. Each of the two main themes is clearly stated on its own, but remarkable things happen when they are played together. Through skillful selection of themes and contrapuntal composition, Mike Hannickel does a masterful job of melding these contrasting songs into a unified and energetic adventure into the Highlands.Fun to play, and a great style study!
