An American Ballad

Description

• Composer: Elliot Del Borgo
• Publisher: Curnow Music

Interesting counterpoint brings the minor key folk song Ballad of John Riley to life for your Grade 2 band. With the nice melodic lines for tenor instruments (trombone, F horn, tenor saxophone) and later the bass instruments, each section is important in this treatment of the somber folk tune. A great vehicle for studying phrasing and controlled performance at this level.
