Cajun Folk Songs

Title: Cajun Folk Songs
Level: Grade 3 1/2
Composer/Arranger: Frank Ticheli
Publisher: Manhatten Beach Music
Classification: Folk Song
Instrumentation: Full
Source: Poppler's Music Inc.
General Comments: This is a wonderful arrangement of Cajun Folk Songs, by Frank Ticheli. "La Belle et la Capitaine", the title of the first song, is a very lyrical and expressive song, and contains a solo alto saxophone line that is repeated and built upon by the ensemble. "Belle", the second song, is upbeat, and contains syncopation. This movement is more difficult as far as technical passages, and could be considered a grade 4. This piece is also quite expensive, but I think it is well worth it.
