Knoxville: Summer of 1915 - Samuel Barber

(concert band with vocal solo). G. Schirmer Concert Band - Grade 3-5 Samuel Barber's landmark 1948 piece for soprano and orchestra, a setting of poetic, nostalgic prose by James Agee, has been transcribed for soprano and concertband in this new edition, making it accessible to many more performers. This lyrical, warm music is Samuel Barber at his best, evoking the highest aspects of Americana. The soprano part is for an accomplished performer. (Grade 5)(15:00)
