Although the form of A Prairie Hymn is straightforward, the melody is well crafted and the harmonic structure is unpredictable and interesting. Distinct choirs of instrumental voices provide textural and coloristic variety, polyphonic parts provide rhythmic interest and a musical challenge to the performers, and a solo at the beginning and end— primarily written for the horn but also scored for trumpet—allows a more advanced player to shine. Correlated with Tradition of Excellence Book 2, page 22.

About Tradition of Excellence: Excellence in Performance

Excellence in performance is a concert band repertoire series correlated with the Tradition of Excellence Comprehensive Band Method by Bruce Pearson and Ryan Nowlin. The compositions in the series correlate to a specific page in Tradition of Excellence Books 1, 2, or 3 and reinforce and expand on skills and concepts introduced in the method.

/Selections include exciting parts for every player, grade-appropriate cross-cueing, accessible ranges and rhythms, creative percussion writing, electric bass and rehearsal piano parts, and full conductor scores with rehearsal suggestions, program notes and composer biographies. In addition, the Grade 1 works provide an Advanced Snare Drum part for percussionists who have achieved a higher level of ability, playable simultaneously with the more basic Snare Drum part to facilitate differentiated learning.
