Greensleeves - English Folk Song

Greensleeves is one of the most popular and endearing English folk songs, dating back over 400 years. Also known as the Christmas carol "What Child Is This?" the haunting melody is one of the best-known folk and hymn settings in band repertoire. This arrangement conveys the simple sincerity of the melodic line, infused with new countermelodies to give interest to every section of the ensemble.

Haleakal

Named for a volcano on the Hawaiian island of Maui, Haleakala is a boldly conceived and sumptuously scored tribute to the wonder of nature. A series of brilliant fanfares, with prominent use of the brass section, leads to a broad chorale theme for the wind section that soon acquires a noble counter melody from the horn choir. After a splendidly sonorous climax, the fanfare material returns to close the piece in a grand style. This selection will work particularly well as a concert opener.

Hands Across The Sea

Andrew Balent arranging John Philip Sousa is a winning combination in itself, and this popular march has been scaled down sensitively and carefully for the younger band. Inspired by the friendship between the United States and their allies overseas, Sousa composed this march after hearing the phrase, "A sudden thought strikes me; let us swear eternal friendship." The touching patriotism and bold happiness of this work will make your group shine.
