About the Arranger: Robert Longfield
Robert Longfield is a prolific arranger whose work spans film music, standards, and original compositions for concert band. His arrangements are known for respecting the character of source material while crafting engaging parts that sit well across the ensemble.
Why we love this
Longfield captures the infectious energy of the original while building the arrangement in clear stages, giving your band a satisfying arc from opening dance to climactic finish. The Grade 3 scoring keeps parts playable without sacrificing the impact that makes this moment work in the film, and the Celtic flavor adds welcome color to a typical concert program.
What to expect
Joyful and kinetic. The opening invites dancers to the floor with a graceful 3/4 sway, then pivots into spirited momentum as the jig takes over. Energy compounds with each layer of percussion, and the rousing finish feels genuinely celebratory rather than calculated.
Who it's for
Bands at the Grade 3 level looking for contemporary concert fare with immediate appeal and clear musical storytelling. This works equally well for directors seeking a crowd-pleasing change of pace or building student confidence with recognizable material.
How to get the most out of it
- Establish the lilt of 3/4 in the opening section before the tempo shift to the jig. A conductor who commits to the lilting feel will pull the ensemble along naturally.
- Balance the percussion buildup carefully so it heightens excitement without overwhelming the melodic material. The layering is what drives the piece forward, not volume alone.
- Bring out the character change between the opening waltz and the faster jig. Mark those moments in rehearsal so the band hears the personality shift, not just a speed change.
- Shape the final stretch with intention. Let the acceleration and rhythmic drive build to a genuine rousing finish rather than simply playing louder.
How to use it
Place this as a mid-concert palette cleanser between heavier works, or open a second half with it to reset audience energy. Its Disney pedigree and film-familiar melody make it a natural fit for concerts featuring popular music or for engaging younger audiences.
Skills your students will build
