Aaron Copland famously used its melody for the score of Appalachian Spring, which premiered in 1944. This concert band version with piano accompaniment is suited as a lyrical solo appropriate for beginning band students in their first year of playing, using only six notes. The melody is written in unison for all players to play together. Length: 1' 45"
