Randol Alan Bass: Shenandoah: Blasorchester

This breathtaking arrangement of Shenandoah was created at the request of well-known 'Pops' conductor Michael Krajewski and was premiered in late summer, 2004, by the Houston Symphony Orchestra. This new setting for band makes a stunning addition to any concert program. Numerous soloists are featured in this sweeping, lyric setting of the famous folksong melody with a panoramic, 'Americana' feel. This would make a worthy addition to any Pops program and can be played effectively in an outdoor setting.
