Castlebay - Gene Milford
This fresh new setting of two traditional Scottish folk songs, Will Ye No Come Back Again and Keel Row, was written in honor of its namesake, the Scottish village Castlebay. Composer Gene Milford has crafted a well-scored offering for contest/festival performance that is reminiscent of English-style band pieces. After the striking opening, the piece moves to the more fiddle-like Keel Row in a lilting 6/8. All of the sections of the ensemble get to shine and the band will sound formidable with this piece.

Band conductors know of this famous folk song because of the popular setting by band composing icon Percy Grainger, but it has been out of reach for young bands... until now! Andrew Balent has arranged the delightful tune in a setting that works wonderfully for young band.

Lonestar - Carl Strommen
This lovely original ballad for band is so tuneful that you'll think that it is based upon a folk song. This is the magic of the pieces of Carl Strommen. He has a way of writing memorable melodies and lush harmonies that just sound so right. Lonestar has the sound of an American cowboy song, and it will stretch the musicianship of your young students. We are proud to have this wonderful new piece from Carl Strommen in the Carl Fischer catalog.

Callisto - Joseph Compello
A winning and moderately easy concert piece that takes its name from one of the moons of Jupiter, Callisto is a vibrantly scored set of two variations on a fragment of a theme from the Jupiter movement of Gustav Holst's orchestral suite, The Planets. The characteristic flatted-7th of much English folk music is retained in both the quick opening section and the slow, reflective variation that forms the B section of this clever and appealing overture-style piece.

An Irish Ballade
Based on the vintage Irish folk ballad 'The Minstrel Boy,' John Kinyon has given this passionate melody new life in a contemporary arrangement for the less-experienced concert band. To bring out its inherent sweetness and beauty, a sensitive interpretation and rubato tempo are recommended. (Grade 2)

Northland Saga
This imaginative tone picture uses the Russian folk song, 'Meadowlands,' to evoke images of armies marching across the frozen territories of the North. The music opens quietly with snare drum and clarinets. Soon other instruments join in, as the armies approach each other, culminating in a battle scene that effectively utilizes the percussion section. The battle concludes and the armies depart, gradually disappearing into the snow. Great for developing imagery. (Grade 2)
