One moment…

Inspired by the music of Scotland, this stellar original opens with a strathsprey, written in a bold and majestic manner. A brief transition introduces the beautiful Scottish carol Christ Child’s Lullaby, before a percussion interlude gives a nod to the music of the traditional Scottish military tattoo. The work culminates in an energetic cut-time reel, which brings the piece to a rousing conclusion. Incredible writing!

Don't just read it, hear it, play along with it, and watch your students grow with it. In MakeMusic Cloud, From Glen to Glen: Concert Band Conductor Score & Parts comes alive with professional accompaniment, adjustable tempo, and built-in practice tools that turn solo practice into real progress.

Why we love this

Sheldon channels Scottish musical traditions into an accessible concert piece that builds genuine drama without sacrificing ensemble balance. The arc from strathsprey through carol to reel gives students a clear narrative to follow while tackling the stylistic shifts that make this work contest-worthy.

What to expect

A journey through the Scottish Highlands, starting with stately grandeur before pausing for intimate reflection, then erupting into celebratory movement. The piece captures the dignity of tradition alongside the infectious joy of folk celebration.

Who it's for

Grade 3 concert bands seeking repertoire that combines cultural substance with accessible musicianship. Directors programming contest festivals, spring concerts, or units exploring world music traditions will find this especially valuable.

How to get the most out of it

Let the opening strathsprey breathe with a bold, unhurried tempo; Scottish character depends on clarity of line, not speed.
Shape the lullaby section as a genuine lyrical interlude, allowing contrast against the majestic opening to land with the audience.
Approach the percussion interlude with precision and character; it bridges two distinct musical worlds and deserves its own identity.
Drive the final reel with infectious energy, but maintain rhythmic tightness in cut time so the cut feels purposeful, not rushed.

How to use it

Pair this with other world music selections to build a thematic concert, or use it as your contest entry for groups wanting a thoughtful but energetic statement. The built-in sectional contrasts also make it an excellent teaching tool for discussions about form and orchestration.
