Percy
Grainger's Irish Tune
from County Derry is
unquestionably one of the
most beloved standards of
the concert band
repertoire. Rob
Romeyn’s brilliant
arrangement for the
Command series of this
iconic work has been
skillfully and carefully
adapted to better fit the
instrumentation of a
smaller ensemble, thus
allowing the piece to be
performed effectively by
many more bands who would
otherwise not have the
opportunity. All of
Grainger's iconic melodic
and harmonic lines and
harmonic structure are
present and left intact.
We predict this wonderful
arrangement will become a
classic and will be a
valuable addition to the
repertoire for many years
to come. Great music for
younger performers!

for middle school and
junior high school bands,

Command Series
publications have a
slightly larger
instrumentation than the
Rising Band Series, and
are typically of larger
scope, duration, and
musical content.
