Meacham s  America Patrol  arranged for woodwind quintet by Bill Holcombe Jr.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis arrangement is advanced in difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musicians Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968673009958,"sku":"MPWQ285","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/700000000MPWQ285_d.jpg?v=1697517187","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/meacham-fw-american-patrol","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
