Meacham, FW :: American Patrol
Meacham, FW
Musicians Publications presents F.W. Meacham s America Patrol arranged for woodwind quintet by Bill Holcombe Jr.
This arrangement is advanced in difficulty.
The patrol format was popular in the second half of the 19th century, and other compositions bear titles such as Turkish Patrol ; Ethiopian Patrol ; Owl s Patrol ; Welsh Patrol and Arab Patrol . The format was intended to represent a military band approaching, passing, and fading into the distance. It typically included an introduction played p or pp , in imitation of bugle calls or drums, then themes played progressively louder until a recapitulation of the first theme(s), gradually dying away and finishing pp , ppp , or even pppp . The original piano version of American Patrol follows this scheme. It incorporates both original musical themes by Meacham and melodies from American patriotic songs of the era such as Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean and Dixie . - Clovis North Wind Ensemble, 2017
