Musica Propria All Through The Night - Concert Band - Gr. 3

Grade: 3

We caught this beautiful setting of All Through the Night at Midwest this year. Ms. Giroux has taken this ancient Welsh folksong and woven a stunning arrangement that is accessible by intermediate ensembles. This works for almost any performance scenario.
