Swinging USA Style

The Flex-It series has been devised to meet the varying needs of contemporary concert bands by providing attractive, playable arrangements that can be adapted to your group's particular instrumentation. Colin Cowles has taken well loved melodies from the traditional and classical repertoire and arranged them into basic four part harmony. Each part can be performed by different instruments depending on the resources available. Ideal for developing ensemble skills such as listening to others and maintaining a constant tempo, these arrangements are particularly suitable as concert material for schools or music groups. (Grade 2) This medley of American traditional songs is written in a swing style. Includes: The Yellow Rose of Texas, American Patrol, Battle Hymn of the Republic, John Brown's Body
