Father Grumble Arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle (FJH)
Father Grumble for String Orchestra, American Folk Song (Grade 2.5) arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle
Experience the high seas with this programmatic work for full orchestra complete with mystery, adventure, sword battles and buried treasure. A multitude of effects add to the drama and intensity, including the unique sound of glissando cello harmonics simulating the sound of seagulls on a desert island. This arrangement includes optional parts for your concert band members as well (not playable by concert band alone) to give you added performance flexibility and possibly combine your two groups.

Father Grumble for String Orchestra, American Folk Song (Grade 2.5) arr. Carrie Lane Gruselle
This cleverly titled work includes three famous themes from The Planets. The swooping and fluttering sounds of Mercury, the Winged Messenger give way to the mystical tone clusters and serenity of Venus, the Bringer of Peace. The arrangement closes with the iconic militant ostinato and extreme dissonance of Mars, the Bringer of War. An exceptional arrangement. (4:30)
