About this arrangement

Score and Parts Concert Band (SCORE+PARTS) - Grade 2 SKU: HL.4006634 Composed by Michael Oare. MusicWorks Grade 2. Contest, Festival. Softcover. Duration 195 seconds. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.4006634). ISBN 9781540094940. UPC: 840126925364. 9.0x12.0x0.372 inches.The poignant lament “Mo Chile Mear” (My Gallant Hero) was authored after the defeat of the Scots and their Celtic allies at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, ending dreams of independence from English rule. Michael's emotional setting opens with a flute solo then builds gradually as layers of instrumental groups are added. The piece shifts to a lilting 6/8 style, propelled by the percussion section, and culminates in a majestic statement by the entire ensemble.
