The Irish
folk tune Slane
(the melody used in the
hymn Be Thou My
Vision) forms the
foundation for this
melodically expansive and
inspired work for concert
band. A flowing
exploration of the melody
in variation inspires the
listener with its bold
and thrilling
progression. The piece
remains within reach of a
solid grade 3 band but
gives the impression of a
higher level of
composition. A rich
variety of style and
orchestration make this a
good choice for festival
use as well as concert
performance, as well as a
great opportunity to
study the rich cultural
heritage of Ireland.
You'll be glad you
