This lively folk song celebrates early-American life of riding on a wagon. Spirited themes combine with engaging harmonic and rhythmic writing throughout, with engaging parts for all members of the orchestra. A delightful addition to any program. (2:15)
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)
