Folk Song Chorales
|
Grade II
This music is a set of warm-up chorales for concert band. The idea behind these chorales is to give some variety when warming up one's band. Obviously, Bach is the standard when it comes to chorales and folk song chorales can add a new melodies and harmonies to the fundamentals taught during warm-up. In arranging these chorales, I chose to use harmonies more idiomatic to the modern day concert band scoring... especially at the Grade II/III level. The folk songs included are Loch Lomond, The Parting Glass, Slumber My Darling, and Scarborough Fair. |
