Categories: Wind Band Catalogue - Entertainment - Light Concert Works, Wind Band Catalogue - Finishers
Composer: Frank Ticheli

Grade 3. A great piece full of magical, mischievous fun with images of Halloween with its costumes and jack-o-lanterns. As the piece nears its conclusion, the music rushes toward what seems to be an explosive finish. But the woodwinds interrupt, fanning out to a questioning whole tone cluster. They are answered by a puff of sound - the final disappearing act ! 4 1/2 minutes duration.

JM46059 ALLOWAY TALES - Parts & Score

Category: Wind Band Catalogue - Entertainment - Light Concert Works
Composer: Peter Graham

Grade 3.0 Duration 5.0
Scotland's greatest story teller, Robert Burns was born in Alloway, near Ayr in 1759, and died in 1796. This arrangement of his three best songs includes an optional part for speaker ( Good Scots accent preferred !)
The first song is a portrait of Duncan Gray, who rides into the village to woo Maggie. After some initial misgivings on Maggie's part, wedding bells are in the air, and both live happily ever after.
The second portrait is of Mary Campbell, who lies asleep by the gently flowing Afton Water. This is one of Burn's most beautiful settings, and in this arrangement, the flugel horn is featured.
The final song, The De'ils Awa wi the Exciseman, sees the scourge of the village, the customs man, spirited away by the Devil in a flurry of dust and hooves. They leave behind some very happy villagers who waste no time in celebrating their good fortune with jigs, drums and fun galore.
