Samuel R. Hazo: Mountain Thyme: Concert Band

Written as a memorial, this beautifully emotional setting is a reworking of the traditional folk song The Braes of Baquhidder (also known as Wild Mountain Thyme) by Scottish writer Robert Tannahill. Samuel Hazo uses a varied tapestry of colors, textures and dynamics, taking full advantage of the depth and power of the modern wind band in creating this stunningly effective work. Dur: 4:20
