Description

Commissioned by the 2015 South Carolina All-State Junior Band and written to celebrate the natural scenic beauty of that state’s famed Swamp Rabbit Trail, Michael Sweeney’s Swamp Rabbit Stomp is a joyous romp of rhythm andharmony. Exploring layers of sounds as well as an expanded role for the percussion section, this work also calls for a middle section where all members of the band perform with egg shakers. A substantial work, but with a dash offun! Dur: 7:15
