Air for Band

Title: Air for Band
Level: Grade II
Composer/Arranger: Franck Erickson
Publisher: Bourne Co.
Classification: Air
Instrumentation: Full
Source: Recorded Concert Band Music, Best Music for Young Band, Popplers music score
General Comments: This composition was first written in 1956 and then revised in 1965 before publication. Though the piece is not a great challenge to the performer technically, a great deal of melodic material is passed around the band. This piece exemplifies Erickson's contrapuntal writing and elegant, harmonic weaving.
