Carl Fischer Wolverine Trail (March) - Putnam - Concert Band - Gr. 1

Composer: Matthew Putnam
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Concert Band
Level: 1

Wolverine Trail is a concert march for beginning bands and is rather helpful in introducing beginners to the march form and style. This piece is based in the key of Eb major and uses only the first seven notes taught in most method books. It is also rhythmically accessible to beginners, as simple eighth-note combinations are the most difficult rhythms in this march. The piece follows standard march form except that is does not modulate at the trio section.
