Composed by William Bolcom. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2015. Norsk Noteservice #NNS9790261709378. Published by Norsk Noteservice (BT.NNS9790261709378).

I came to know of this piece when hearing famous Norwegian ragtime pianist Morten Gunnar Larsen playing it at a concert with the Norwegian Navy Band Bergen.

I was struck by its melancholic beauty and wanted to arrange it for band.

Ragtimes are rarely in a minor key (which this one is) and when you first hear it, you might think it was written around the time when Scott Joplin was the main ragtime composer. But, if you listen more carefully, you notice that some of the harmoniesare more

advanced than one might expect in traditional ragtime, giving the piece a slightly more contemporary feel.

The composer William Bolcom wrote Graceful Ghost in 1970 to honour the memoryof his father and it is one of his mostpopular pieces.
