Cumberland Cross

A true concert band classic that explores the rich American folk style in two sections. The first has broad, moving harmonies under a melody reminiscent of Shenandoah, and the second a lively dance evoking Copland. This flex version is designed with maximum adaptability for use by any mix of instruments - wind, strings, and percussion, including like or mixed ensembles with as few as five players. With purchase, permission is granted to photocopy the parts as needed for your ensemble. String parts call for more advanced fingering patterns, shifting, and ranges. All string parts have been carefully edited with extra fingerings and appropriate bowings. (3:30)
