The Country Club Stomp!

Experience a New Orleans vibe with this exciting, parade-inspired crowd pleaser! The lively work is based on an infectious rhythmic groove and spirited melody. Elements of jazz as well as a strong reference to the West African circle dances from which this music evolved are used effectively. Stellar writing that is fun, catchy, and informative! With this flexible arrangement, conductors no longer need to choose between function and texture. Ensembles with instrumentation challenges still have numerous options to cover all parts, yet orchestration is elevated significantly to be faithful to the composer's original intent. Musicians have more opportunities to rest, and timbre once again becomes a central element of the work. It's the best of both worlds: flexible and colorful! (3:00)
