Songs for the Morning Band, Grade 1.5

Songs For The Morning Band is a work in three movements for bands at the grade one and a half level. The first movement is entitled The Answered Question (with a nod to Mr. Ives). This movement makes use of the question and answer technique. The second movement, An Inuit Lullaby, is a setting of an old Inuit folksong from the Cape Dorset region of the Canadian Arctic. The third and final movement, Entrance Of The Colourful Clowns, is a depiction of circus clowns entering the centre ring under the big tent of a circus.
