Amusement Park Adventure - Timothy Johnson

A descriptive delight! Let's all go to the amusement park! Clowns, bumper cars and fun, fun, fun! Young musicians love to interpret music that conveys a visual image. Each delightful section lets your band do exactly that. And, if necessary, the movements can be performed as stand-alone pieces. Directors of young bands will understand the confidence this provides as you program your concert. Better than cotton candy!

An Afternoon at the Ballet

An all American suite - Robert Macray

This suite is based on 4 american folksongs.1. 'Go tell it on the Mountain' - A light swinging negro spiritual telling in many ways: 'Our Lord Jesus Christ is born'.2. 'Sweet Betsy from Pike' - This is the story of the girl who crossed the big prairie with her brother Mike. The setting has a reminiscene of the French 'Musette Waltz' because it was said that Betsy originally came from Paris.3. 'The Fiddler in the Rain' - This is the song from the play 'The Arkansas Traveller' which was very popular in Ohio in the 1850's.4. 'Johnny and Frankie' - This is the combination of 2 songs 'When Johnny comes home' and 'Frankie and Johnny'. The lyrics of the songs have nothing in common, but the two melodies seem to be made to blend perfectly.
