An American Song
"An American Song" is a collage that portrays the motto "e pluribus unum" by combining several dozen American tunes into a single whole. Fragments of hymns, spirituals, show tunes, jazz standards, country and western ballads, folk songs, and classical compositions are set into the collage like thin, translucent glazes, producing a musical surface that evokes the greatness and the struggle inherent in the American identity, at times clearly and at times dimly, through a haze of memory and association. This is ideal for your next concert performance. "An American Song - Concert Band" weighs 28.95 oz.
 This item has a difficulty rating of 5 on a scale of 1 through 6, with 6 being hardest.
