Celtic Farewell (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sweeney, Michael

Music has power to help us heal and cope with the loss of loved ones. Using the beloved traditional Scottish ballad, The Parting Glass, combined with an original new melody, here is a beautifully paced and sensitive musical memorial with a Celtic flavor. A key element of this work is the use of Highland bagpipes. If a pipe player is not available, this part is cued in multiple parts throughout the band (or use a synthesizer with bagpipe patch). A moving tribute for any memorial.Duration: 4:30

Celtic Gathering Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)

Roland Kernen has developed a true fascination for the traditional music scene and for Celtic folk music in particular. The Celts fed on a rich blend of legend and myth which is skillfully portrayed in Celtic Gathering. This lyrical piece embraces two musical atmospheres. The first melodic line, written in a minor key, expresses the cheerful character of a group dance, whilst the second line, written in a major key, portrays perfectly the joyful mood of a Celt village.Why not add a touch of Celtic magic to your band repertoire.

The holy night of Christmas is celebrated in many cultures throughout the world. Robert W. Smith gives us a new arrangement of the classic carol "O Holy Night" in a Celtic style. Following a beautiful introductory statement, the Irish musical roots come to the fore through percussion and flutes as they create an Irish jig. The clarinets present the melody in the beautiful chalumeau register juxtaposed against the jig. The arrangement builds throughout leading to a very exciting conclusion that is decidedly an Irish celebration. Very highly recommended! Duration: 3.00

Celtic Lullaby (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Nobes, Geoffrey

Celtic Lullaby was composed after a recent visit to the beautiful Isle of Arran off the west coast of Scotland. The beauty of the island, its mountains and glens, the lovely seascape around Holy Isle and the gentle rise and fall of the hills are all hopefully reflected in the music; the final few bars bring to mind one of Arran's radiant sunsets as night gently falls over the western sea.Duration: 4.00

Celtic Voyage (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Donahue, Melanie J.

Inspired by the many hardships of the Irish immigrants, this piece brings hope of a new world, a new lease on life and a second chance. The piece begins with the sound of the ocean in the background (played by the ocean drum) while a solo flute plays the main theme. As the piece develops the theme represents several scenes: first, the knowledge that life needs to change due to the famine and hardships of the time; second, the immigrants begin their move to America; third, the arrival in America and seeing the statue of Liberty, which is the climactic moment of the piece; and finally, ending with the same idea in the beginning of the piece but now as memory and longing for Ireland.Duration: 3.30
