Marshall's Civic Band

Donated to Marshall's Band by J.D. Parr of the Baker University band.  Written 
for the Crane Wind Ensemble, Willard Musser, Conductor, S.U. College of 
Pottsdam, N.Y.  Notes on folder: 
 
The composition opens with a two-bar introduction followed by the main theme 
which is 18 bars long.  The next section, starting at B, is a variation on the 
opening material, beginning with solo woodwinds, continuing with various choirs 
and ending with full band.  The last section, from D on, is similar to the 
first, except for the first eight bars which are in minor and the very ending 
(last two measures) which is scored for low clarinets, horns and low brass. 
Except for a brief section in the middle, the piece is to be played in a legato, 
singing manner.  The work was originally conceived for full woodwing choir and 
can be done this way or with full band.
