American Ballad Variants

American Ballad Variants

Traditional

A fresh and spirited treatment of the traditional American ballad Black Is the Color of My True Love�s Hair, this fine piece for a developing band starts with a slow and atmospheric introduction featuring solos by flute and trumpet that hint at the tune. The main section sets the ballad to a driving Latin beat, but the slow reflective mood returns at the end with solos for clarinet, bass clarinet and flute.
