Of Barges and Boats

This swinging setting of one of America's great old tunes, “The Erie Canal,” is a guaranteed crowd pleaser! Intriguing harmonies are a hallmark of this remarkable arrangement by Stephen Bulla, and you know the bandwill love playing in this easy-flowing and natural rhythmic style. While it will spark up any spot on your concert program, consider using it for a new and different type of closer. This is a great tie-in with American history &geography. (Grade 3)
