Fantasy on American Folk Songs

By: Dwayne Milburn 

Concert Band Grade: 4.5

Dwayne Milburn, composer of the popular American Hymnsong Suite, writes a fantastic treatment of four popular American folk songs: Little Liza Jane, Black is the Color of My True Love’s Hair, All the Pretty Little Horses, and Sweet Betsy from Pike. Independent writing and chamber-music like passages will sharpen your late intermediate band’s musicality. Perfect selection for a patriotic concert!
