High Water Mark: The Third Day

It would be difficult to find another grade 2 selection with as much drama and musical depth as this impressive work from young band master, Michael Sweeney. Depicting the momentous events of the final day of battle at Gettysburg in the Civil War, this composition paints vivid musical images including the early morning church bells, the artillery duel between the two armies, the parade-like advance of Confederate troops in Pickett's charge, and ultimately the crucial final battle. Included are extensive historical notes to help make this a complete and meaningful experience for performers and listeners alike. A one-of-a-kind composition!
