Air (Dublinesque) by Billy Joel. Arranged by Barbara Lambrecht. For Concert Band, English Horn, Alto Saxophone. Score and full set of parts. Hal Leonard Concert Band Series. Grade 4. Grade 4. Published by Hal Leonard.
Written with a Grainger-like sensibility and an Irish charm, Billy Joel's emergence as a serious composer includes this beautiful air. The lyric opening, featuring optional piano and solo for English Horn (or Alto Sax), leads to an invigorating dance-like movement with creative rhythmic and harmonic devices. Challenging for each section, yet certainly attainable and well worth the effort.
