Boosey and Hawkes Keltic Variations Concert Band Level 3 Composed by Samuel R. Hazo

Themes in Keltic Variations are based on a style of sea chanteys sung by sailorsin northwestern Europe. Written for students at middle and high school levels, Keltic Variations introduces the musical form of simple theme and variations in an artful balance that falls well on audiences' ears but can also serve as a music lesson in modes and rhythms.
