Program Notes
Take a ride in the country with this lively tune. Start out with a percussion solo; then a unison clarinet melody leads us along a melodic road, picking up the flutes on the countermelody. The brass enter as we roll into town and take their turn with the melody. Flowing along, the woodwinds continue with a contrasting legato section. Finally the low brass takes over as we come across a farm -- but watch out as we accelerate to get away from a threatening bull! This is perfect light programming.
County Perry is a rural South Mississippi county where composer Greg Fhiaras taught before retiring to write concert band music and marching band shows.
