Bonnie Eloise

Description

• Composer: J. P. Thomas
• Arranger: Ronald C. Knoener
• Publisher: Daehn Publications

Bonnie Eloise was a favorite of both armies during the Civil War. Mr. Knoener’s setting opens with a hearty cadence of snare drums and field drums, and then fifes (piccolo and flute) are added. The piece is in A - B - A form: A is ‘Bonnie Eloise,’ B is original material by the composer. Mr. Knoener’s love of Civil War music is evident in this fine arrangement for the modern concert band!
