C. Alan Publications Appalachian Counterpoint - Gillingham - Concert Band (Flex) - Gr. 5

Composer: David R. Gillingham (b. 1947)
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Concert Band (4-Part Flex Band)
Level: 5

Originally scored for tuba-euphonium quartet, Appalachian Counterpoint has been adapted for 4-part flexible wind band, playable by any combination of instruments in the ensemble. It is based on a traditional Appalachian folk song originally set as a a lovely lilting lullaby. There is, however, very little feeling of "lullaby" in this work as it is transformed into an Appalachian fiddling tune.
Duration: 5:30

The MaxFlex Series for adaptable wind band offers maximum flexibility with pieces across all grade levels, featuring 4 parts plus optional percussion. Each part is transposed and playable by any wind or keyboard percussion instrument in the ensemble. Recommended part assignments are included, but directors may "mix and match" as they see fit.
