Granite Bay Overture - John O'Reilly

Granite Bay is in the heart of the Northern California area that was so dramatically affected by the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848. This descriptive overture musically chronicles the range of emotions encountered by those early prospectors as they set off to make their fortunes. Great fun!

Grays Harbor March - Steve Hodges

Here's an energetic concert or festival opener by Steve Hodges. Grays Harbor March was commissioned by the George B. Miller Junior High School in Aberdeen, Washington. This exciting march was written in two distinct styles. Set in the minor mode, the driving opening will give your trumpets a chance to show off their rhythmic skill. Then, a graceful transition leads to the flowing middle section in the relative major, only to return back to the original theme for the fantastic finish. Open your next concert by taking your audience to Grays Harbor!

Green Bushes - Percy Aldridge Grainger / arr. Frank Pappajohn

This arrangement by Frank Pappajohn, taken from the original full orchestra score, is another of the newly authorized 'Grainger Society Approved Editions' by LudwigMasters Publications. While other arrangements exist with cuts in the music, this is the only complete version that is available for band. Composed between 1905 and 1906, it was apparently a quite well-known melody as Grainger collected ten different versions of it over his career, using one version as the concluding movement of his Lincolnshire Posy. This is an important new addition to the repertoire that everyone should have.

Greensleeves

A unique and vibrant setting of the well-known melody. The first known reference to "Greensleeves" goes back to 1580. Since that date the melody has had myriad uses. However, none are so pleasing as its holiday connection. Paul Cook provides a version that is almost hypnotic in effect. Gorgeous!
