Description
Chariots is an upbeat and rhythmic fantasia based on the spiritual “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.” Gordon takes the familiar melody and transforms it into a modern, high-energy concert piece filled with syncopation and bright brass fanfares. It is a fantastic “entertainment” item that provides a fresh and exciting look at traditional American music.
Difficulty 3
(Medium) Fourth year players, or junior high-level students may require these arrangements to be properly challenged. These generally have free use of syncopation as well as section and solo scoring. Cues and cross cues will also be used less.
