Composed by Grice. Concert Band. Gems of the Concert Band Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR357). Extra full score. Composed 2008. Duration 3 minutes, 33 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-3701-01. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-3701-01). Rob Grice's Portrait of an Old Country Town is a programmatic work depicting images of an early American community. The beauty of the countryside, the work involved in taming the great outdoors, and a small town festival celebration are all pictorial elements of the piece. Accessible to bands of modest experience, sounds much harder than it is. An exceptionally nice work!
