Folk Songs From Somerset, the third movement from Ralph Vaughan Williams’ English Folk Song Suite is a classic march incorporating four traditional folk songs: Blow Away The Morning Dew, High Germany, The Tree So High and John Barley’s Corn. Using both 2/4 and 6/8 meters, Vaughan Williams has created a unique educational opportunity for ensembles to contrast duple and compound meter. Creatively adapted for the Build-A-Band series by master composer/arranger, Ed Huckeby, this masterful work is now available for ensembles with unusual or limited instrumentation. Your students and audiences will love this English band classic!

Fantasy on Early American Airs. Composed by Longfield. Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (items CL.WFR335 & CL.WFR343). Extra full score. Composed 2005. Duration 7 minutes, 12 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-3398-01. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-3398-01).

A dramatic and inspiring patriotic composition which contains fresh musical treatments of Yankee Doodle, Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier, America and a full symphonic treatment of The Star-Spangled Banner. A great concert opener or closer, and is suitable for any patriotic or civic occasion. (The Star-Spangled Banner can be played alone, with or without audience participation.) Challenging, but amazingly playable for a piece that sounds so spectacular and impressive! All sections of the band get several chances to shine and it's a full-blown extravaganza that is perfect for a zillion programming situations. Very impressive!
