Themes Like Old Times 2. Cascade River Overture 3. A Celebration of Spirituals 4. Charles Carter Amazing Grace introduces a medley of The Yellow Rose of Texas, Shenandoah, Aura Lee, Erie Canal and a great dixieland treatment of When The Saints Go Marching In. The original Ayres were inspired by the famous victory in the 1400s of the English over the French at Agincourt, France, and are intended to sound like old English songs that might have been sung by King Henry's men.

Anne McGinty All of the compositional techniques that make this writer's style so unique are found in this exuberant piece for concert band. Yet it is accessible to less experienced bands, and its canonic imitation, bold polychords and moving slow section will impress any audience of parents or adjudicators. This powerful and expressive work is Edmondson at his best - an appealing melodic composition which sounds more difficult than it actually is. This classic march favorite is noted for its exuberant spirit, flashy chromatic low brass runs and appealing, memorable melody. This challenging yet engaging march is the perfect opener for any concert or festival program.
