Program Notes:
This publication marks André Jutras’ 25-year association with C.L. Barnhouse Co. and will certainly become a classic of band literature in the years to come! You can again expect André’s unique signature touch of fresh harmonies, beautiful melodies and full, solid orchestration that will make your band shine and sound at its best in any concert or festival situation. If you wish to challenge your musicians you can also turn this piece into a longer French-Canadian folk song suite by performing it in conjunction with this composer’s much celebrated Three Folk Miniatures.
(C.L. Barnhouse)
