The Wrangler was written for the James Logan High School wind ensemble (Ramiro Barrera, director) in 2006. The work is evocative of the great old Westerns with Big Sky and grand symphonic music. "The hero is a good man, a free man - very confident and very competent with his stallion and lasso," says the composer, and The Wrangler describes our hero galloping across the breathtaking landscape, encountering a drunken dance at a saloon, avoiding a fight, and more, all packed within an eight-minute envelope. For advanced bands.
