About this arrangement

Concert Band - Grade 2 SKU: AP.81-CB220416 Composed by Frank McKinney. Concert Band; Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. Eighth Note Publications. Score and Part(s). Eighth Note Publications #81-CB220416. Published by Eighth Note Publications (AP.81-CB220416). ISBN 9781771577311. UPC: 685462027323. English.At this soirée music lovers have assembled to celebrate the harvest, play a few tunes, and enjoy a little dancing. Beginning with a lightly scored hoedown motif with woodwinds, the good-natured mood is interrupted by a thoughtful chorale, first stated by the brass. Contrasting consonance and dissonance are shared by each section until completed by the full ensemble. Eventually the hoedown theme returns with renewed energy, and the piece dances to a surprising finish.
