Cowboy Songs Of The Great American West. Par HANNICKEL MIKE. STAMPEDE!!! takes us back to an old American West of longhorn cattle-drives, chuck wagons, campfires and trail songs. Based on several authentic cowboy songs, STAMPEDE!!! opens at dawn (birdcalls included) with the “Cowboy’s Gettin’ Up Holler”. Lively fiddle and harmonica motifs and an eloquent scoring of “Good-bye, Old Paint” are just part of this contribution to Grade 3 concert band literature by Mike Hannickel. “The Chisholm Trail” (a true cowboy classic) figures importantly at the beginning and, in a driving re-harmonization, leads to the thrilling conclusion. / Niveau : 3 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band
