O'reilly : Two Canadian Sketches (yamaha Band)

This breezy two movement work for beginning instrumentalists begins with a woodwind melody, which segues to brass and tutti full-band sections. The second movement is upbeat and spirited, providing a dramatic contrast for young band performances. Both movements were inspired by the breathtaking beauty of the Canadian landscape and invoke images of quiet forests and rolling hillsides. (Grade 1—Very Easy.
