Description
Sure to delight, the central portion of this original piece brings the unrestrained exuberance of bluegrass fiddling to the orchestra. In a lovely contrast, the piece opens and closes with a slow chorale, bringing to mind sunset and sunrise over the mountains. (3:15)

I've been searching for this song ever since I played trumpet in band 6th–8th grade. I'm so happy I finally found it 😭❤️

I got so excited because on the percussion score it said use a 'whip' for the slapstick, my idiot self thought we would be able to use a whip and so I got really happy and then my teacher was like 'Nope.' :( hahahaha :DDD

We played this, but with a full symphonic band, no strings. It sounds awesome regardless. This sounds even better. I personally love the extra use of percussion compared to the symphonic version.

I play tuba. I love this song! It has a nice 'American' feel to it. And don't forget the tuba gets a soli with the low instruments!

Playing this in a few months for my band, pretty excited. I've known this song for a while now, and I really like it, even if the horn part is only okay.

I'm playing this for my orchestra, the tuba part is alright, nothing special but it sounds beautiful with the others!

We played this in full orchestra (only full orchestra in entire state!), and I just personally loved the way it sounds (the quick part).

I'm playing this in band, it was hard but I learned pretty quickly. I don't think I play the fast part correctly since I'm a flute player and I'm playing an oboe part, I don't play notes that low, pretty difficult. Even though some of the notes on the flute part are also as low, just some parts go higher.

It's a nice piece! Completely captured the vibe of American westward expansion through the Cumberland Gap after the Revolutionary War. Love how in the middle of the piece it goes from old-timey colonial music, then THEY'RE THROUGH THE GAP and now all of a sudden it's a western travel theme.
