This classic work for young bands has stood the test of time and continues to appear on many state required lists. Based on three American folk songs (The Promised Land, Cindy and I’m Sad and I’m Lonely) it works just well for programming on lighter concerts as it does for contests and festivals. A trusted favorite. (Grade 3) (4:15)
