Barcarolle (concert band) Frank Erickson

Vergriffen (Restexemplare bei uns noch lieferbar!) / Permanently out of Print (we still sell our remaining stock)

The barcarolle was originally a boat song that was sung by Venitian gondoliers, characterized by the alternation of strong and light beats in 6/8 time. The highly expressive melody is first played by trumpets and is then interwoven with flutes, clarinets and other sections of the band. A timeless contribution to your concert band music library. Commissioned by the Hamilton, Ontario Massed Band Festival, 1992. (Grade 3---Medium)
