Scottish Highland Overture
Composers:- Jones, Nathan
Duration: 4
Description:
Scottish Highland Overture was commissioned by the MacArthur Middle School in Lawton, OK, in honor of their longtime conductor, Sue Ann Hannah. Taking inspiration from the schoolās mascot (the āScotsā) the piece is based very loosely on the Scottish folk song, āThe Dowie Dens oā Yarrow.ā The faster āAā section contains lots of rhythmic interplay between voices while the āBā section gives everyone a chance to play in a very lyrical and legato style. This fun and playable overture is a great introduction to the Dorian mode for young bands, and features a short horn section soli opening the middle section, with ample cross-cueing to provide additional support as needed.
