About this arrangement

Concert Band - Grade 2 SKU: AP.22278 Composed by Robert Sheldon. Concert Band; MakeMusic Cloud; Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. Young Symphonic. 4th of July; Patriotic; Summer. Score and Part(s). 258 pages. Alfred Music #00-22278. Published by Alfred Music (AP.22278). UPC: 038081231426. English.The musical inspiration for this piece came from the scenes and speeches on a rock emblazoned with battle scenes from our nation's history. The piece opens with a military-sounding march that leads to a solemn section over which a narrator reads the speeches seen on the rock while a muted trumpet plays Taps in the background. The initial march then returns, with fragments of numerous patriotic melodies juxtaposed with the original melody, coming to an exciting ending. (4:45) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
