American Heritage Suite No. 1: (Arr. Robert Longfield): Cordes (Ensemble)

Robert Longfield draws from America’s rich musical tradition in this arrangement for medium-level orchestras. A majestic opening leads into a light treatment of Polly Wolly Doodle before moving into a more lyrical and sensitive treatment of Long, Long, Ago. A lively and energetic rendition of Listen to the Mockingbird caps this new work. Excellent writing for strings!
