Additional info/contents	Nein – nicht der Ohrwurm von Rod Stewart ist hier gemeint, sondern eine charmante Originalkomposition für Blasorchester der Amerikanerin Virginia Allen. Mit diesem geschickt instrumentierten Werk führt sie die Musiker von einer ruhigen Eröffnung, über einen kontrastiven Mittelteil auf einem bis zum Schluss vergnüglichen Segeltörn sicher durch einen erfolgreichen Konzertaufritt. This charming A-B-A form tone poem takes us on a memorable pleasure sailboat ride on the Chesapeake. Skillful scoring and natural melodies make sure this piece will show your group well on the concert stage. After a calm opening, the contrasting detached middle section of the piece sparkles as you feel the gentle breeze pick up to push the boat along on a joyously exciting cruise. Pleasing to play and pleasant to hear, you’ll want to add Virginia Allen’s Sailing to your music library right away.
