Ghost Town Commissioned by the Mann Middle School Instrumental Program Instrumentation: Flute 1, 2 Oboe Bassoon Clarinets 1, 2, 3 Bass Clarinet Alto Sax 1, 2 Tenor Sax Bari Sax Trumpets 1, 2 F Horn 1, 2 Trombone Euphonium Tuba Timpani (2 drums) Marimba Chimes/Tambourine Snare/Suspended Cymbal

Score Notes: The pitch bend in the flutes in mm 11-12 should come at the very end of the note.

The trombone glisses in mm 58-63 should be fairly slow.

There should not be a pause between the fermata in mm 54 and the key change.

Program Notes: You walk into a town that has been abandoned by everything except the dust and the wind. In the distance you can faintly hear an old barn dance, distorted and uncanny as the ghosts of the past begin to slip through the veil. As you travel further into town you can see the lives of the people that used to live here passing by. A glimpse into the past, and you’re not sure if it’s real, or just a trick of the light. That old song is louder now, and you can see people walking to an old run down barn. If you follow them, you see the barn start to shift, and what used to be old and rotted is now brightly painted and newly made. The doors are open, and inside you can see a barn dance. People are joyous and carefree as they dance just like they used to when they were alive.

A pair of ghosts phase through you as the party gets wilder and wilder ending with a final dip before vanishing.
