Wind Symphony

Themes from "Green Bushes" by Percy Grainger, Arranged by Larry Daehn

Green Bushes is a well-known English folksong. Grainger has set it in the form of a passacaglia - the melody is present in its original form throughout the work. The presence of the melody acts as a unifying thread as several diverse and free variations are presented. The work maintains a dance-like character throughout.

Ashokan Farewell by Jay Unger, Arranged by Calvin Custer

This beautiful melody and simple arrangement showcases the expressive side of the Wind Symphony. You may recognize the melody, as it was used as the theme in Ken Burns' documentary The Civil War.

From Whom All Blessings Flow by Ed Huckeby

The hymn tune "Old 100th" (often called the doxology) is used here as the foundation for an interesting and unique contemporary composition. The treatments of this wonderful melody range from heroic to haunting. Especially interesting is Huckeby's use of unexpected meters and rhythm patterns.

Star Puzzle March by Soichi Konagaya

Commissioned by the All Japan Band Association, this novelty is based on a popular children's song. Mr. Konagaya incorporates some very clever arranging techniques in this entertaining treatment of a melody that everyone knows.
