American River Medley Featuring Shenandoah, The Glendy Burk, and Red River Valley by Douglas E. Wagner Concert Band - Sheet Music
By Douglas E. WagnerThe major rivers which flow through the United States of America have centuries-long been prime vehicles for exploration, trade, inspiration, life, and general enjoyment for millions of people. Folk songs from the mid-nineteenth century chronicle their stories of love and courage, with three of the most beloved of these tunes incorporated into the fabric of this arrangement by Douglas E. Wagner. Opening with a gently flowing treatment of Shenandoah, also known as Across the Wide Missouri, the work transitions to a spirited rendition of The Glendy Burk. A more sedate feeling for Red River Valley follows, with Shenandoah returning again in the upper winds in direct and effective counterpoint. A rousing coda, based on previously heard musical material, brings to a close this celebration of our most treasured American resources. (2:50)
