The hymn tune CHARLESTON is one of the first tunes, not previously published in English or American tunebooks, to appear in an American hymn tunebook "The United States Sacred Harmony" (Boston, 1799). This lyrical setting of the tune for young/developing band, "On an Early American Hymn Tune," presents CHARLESTOWN three times: first, by woodwinds in open intervals reminiscent of folk harmonies; next, by oboe, saxophones, and tuned percussion, richly harmonized (a soprano saxophone part, substituting for oboe, is provided if ensembles wish to perform this section as saxophone choir and percussion); and finally, powerfully by horns/saxophones/clarinets and low brass before gradually diminishing in volume to a restful ending.
