The traditional Newfoundland lyric ballad, "She's Like a Swallow," is presented for band with all the passion and emotion it deserves. This tragic tale has many interpretations, but in all its forms is certainly a story of love and loss. A Canadian Ballad provides young bands with an opportunity to play with great color and expression, bringing a moment of repose and lyricism to any concert performance.

Grade: 1
As the title suggests, this wonderful work presents three Celtic folk favorites in a very playable fashion for Grade 1 bands. Songs included are :
"Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes,"
"Wearing of the Green"
and "My Wild Irish Rose."
As always for the Mini-Score Series, careful attention has been given to ensure all prominent parts are doubled, allowing for any instrumental "shortcomings" one may encounter. A Celtic Celebration is another winner from John Kinyon!

This lyrical piece provides the young band with many opportunities for expressive playing. A simple, memorable melody sets the stage for interesting harmonic and textural treatments by all sections of the ensemble. An effective transition builds to a seamless modulation which gradually diminishes to a quiet conclusion. Alpine Meadow is great teaching tool for phrasing, articulation and dynamics.
