Piper and the Captain, The

Composers:
  • Osborne, Chester G.
Detailed Instrumentation: Concert Band
Duration: 4
Description:

This is a suite that uses Gaelic folk and peasant tunes, all with modal qualities. “The Piper’s Dance” is mostly pentatonic with the occasional sixth tone added as an ornament. “My Love is Coming Home” is on a six tone scale for the first eight measures, then changes to an ancient mode in a free, soaring melody. “The Captain” is a vigorous marching air, and in this setting there are bagpipe drones.
