Description
Originally scored for tuba-euphonium quartet, Appalachian Counterpoint has been adapted for 4-part flexible wind band, playable by any combination of instruments in the ensemble. It is based on a traditional Appalachian folk song originally set as a a lovely lilting lullaby. There is, however, very little feeling of “lullaby” in this work as it is transformed into an Appalachian fiddling tune.
