As I Gaze From The High Mountain - Patrick J. Burns

Based on the 19th century Japanese folk song, "Takai-Yama." Lots of melodic and rhythmic vitality for young band. Excellent for multicultural programming.

As I Walked Through The Meadow - Pierre la Plante

Pierre La Plante is well-known for his mastery at creating concert band settings of folk tunes with Grainger-esque style. "As I Walked Through The Meadow" is a pastorale setting of a traditional English folk tune that, with careful attention to intonation and expressive playing, will give your ensemble's musicianship a chance to shine. The middle section is a variation on the main theme which returns, builds to a climax and ends quietly in a somewhat wistful manner. A beautiful choice for concert or contest change of pace. Outstanding music for wind band!

As If On Wings - Behrman
