Par COURT DOUGLAS. William Billings' beloved song Chester, the adopted theme of the Continental Army during America's war for independence, forms the musical core of this fine work for young bands. Great for concert or contest, this adaptation is short and sweet, but does not skimp on style or emotional impact. / Niveau : 2.5 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band
