SKU: WE.GMM266SC

Composed by Gregory B. Rudgers. Full score. Duration 3 minutes 55 seconds. Midwest Music #GMM266SC. Published by Midwest Music (WE.GMM266SC).

Composer Rudgers here draws a delightful fantasy treatment from the mid-1800's folk song about grizzled old mountain man Dan Tucker. Opening aggressively with a short fanfare based on the main melodic motive of the song, the work soon segues into a tender, beautifully harmonized ballad. This lyrical section gives way to a hoedown replete with a foot-stomping, hand-clapping section that is fun for all players. Don't miss this highly creative and entertaining take on a classic piece of Americana!

The composer, John McCabe has written 7 cheerful songs, representing fun free-time activities.

Volume 1 has unlocked the mysteries of jazz improv for a whole generation of musicians who previously had nowhere to turn for competent rhythm sections and accurate instruction. Features 9 demonstration tracks of Jamey playing the exercises and soloing. The importance of the basic exercises becomes more apparant when you actually hear how the phrases are supposed to sound, and Jamey's solos are the perfect demonstration of how to solo with the CD.

... those who know Bredenbach's Lustige Lieder, know that his music isn't always easy, which it doesn't have to be! He [Bredenbach] knows what children are capable of ... The piece is fun: first, because the story is well-known; second, because the melodies are original and witty (children have an excellent sense for why the melody must be angular in certain places, and why an exploding pipe cannot be set in decending major thirds), third, because hymns, folksongs, and children's songs are hidden everywhere, which strengthen and underline the comedy or joke in each situation ... (Wurtt. Blatter fur Kirchenmusik 2/00). Score available separately - see item CA.1231600.
