Grandfather's Folk Song - In 1929, Jimmie Rodgers released the song Waiting for a Train, which became one of the iconic songs of the great depression. My grandfather, George Thompson, was a self-taught guitar player and a humble street cleaner in the SW Virginia mountain town of Norton. A recording was made of him playing this iconic song in 1979 by the Appleshop of Whitesburg, KY, a preservation society of mountain tradition and music. This grade 2.5-3 piece is a tribute to him, and the song he sang for this short video.
- 5-part Flex Band - Great for an advanced middle school group or a small high school group looking for a folkish style of piece.
- Clarinets 2 and 3 are kept below the break.
- Bells may play Fl/Ob 1.
- Many percussion parts.
- Lots of style changes to help students learn articulation.
- A great blend of dissonance to reinforce ensemble listening.
