The last two days have been truly amazing! Hinds Community College Band hosted our first High School Honor Band event featuring my dear friend and colleague, Robert W. Smith. We had two amazing bands (Gold and Maroon), two band director breakout sessions, and special performances by the Hinds Steel Pan Band and Hinds Wind Ensemble.

I am pretty excited about this opportunity! The grade 3 work I am writing for this project is inspired by North Carolina’s state song, The Old North State. Join the Consortium! HURRAH!

“Greensleeves” dates to the 16th century as a traditional English folk song. Claude T. Smith created a masterful setting of this timeless classic providing many solo opportunities and melodic interest throughout all the sections of the band. The use of standard and contemporary harmonies gives the listener a wonderful experience. This flexible arrangement allows ensembles to perform the work with as few as thirteen musicians providing accessibility and flexibility for numerous instrumentation needs, while still allowing a full ensemble sound.
