A Child's Embrace - Charles Rochester Young

A Child's Embrace - Charles Young

A Child's Embrace was written to commemorate the birth of the composer's first child, Katherine Anne Young, who was born on January 18, 2000. It has been scored in such a way as to permit performances by bands with less than complete instrumentation. (The oboe and bassoon parts may be omitted if players are not available, and the vibraphone part may be substituted by bells with rubber mallets.) It was commissioned by the Traverse City East Junior High School Band.

A Child's Lullaby - Johannes Brahms

A gentle and sensitive setting of the famous Brahms melody which features a trumpet solo (cued in flute and oboe). Swearingen's lush harmonization makes this a superior piece for developing tone quality and expressive phrasing concepts while providing an appealing and popular concert piece.
