Fantasia On An American Folk Tune: The Arkansas Traveler
This bluegrass-inspired setting of the classic fiddle tune follows the story of the titular character from a dreary day traveling into a heated debate with a local fiddler about a leaky roof. At one point the tune becomes a 3-part fugue before a barn-burning finish.
Instrumentation: String Quintet/String Orchestra
Difficulty: Grade 4 (Intermediate/High School)
