Program Notes
Here's a big and bold selection that captures all of the energy and drive of the American West by combining the sound of the "Western Saga" along with some shades of Aaron Copland, all set within the reach of bands at the Easy level. A salute to the men and women who traveled the Oregon Trail from Missouri to the Pacific Coast.
