In The Vernacular

For wind ensemble
Duration: 18 minutes

NOTES
An irreverent inspection of the various traditions of "bands" which have played American vernacular music. Bebop gets things off to an energetic start with a frenetic walking bass; Swing takes on the sweet section playing of the big bands; Blues dissects the familiar 12-bar form; and Stageband Romp presents the sort of over-the-top stageband style of '60's TV themesongs.
