Old time fiddling is a genre of American folk music derived from British/European folk dances such as Jig, Reel, Breakdown, Waltz and Two-Step. American fiddling continued to evolve into genres such as bluegrass, western swing, country and hillbilly jazz, the fiddle being a mainstay in all these styles. Many composers of band music have found fiddle tunes to translate well for winds and this arrangement is no exception! Following a brief introduction the clarinets and flutes are featured on the standard reel Soldier's Joy. Next, the saxophone section renders a version of the familiar Arkansas Traveler. The brass continue with the reel Red Haired Boy and the final tune features woodwinds and mallets with some toe-tapping western swing, Stone's Rag. This two and a half minute medley is sure to be a real audience pleaser as well as total fun for the all the musicians!
