4BR Shop: Father Abraham

There is a wonderful take on a classic children's tune by composer Michael Pilley — ideal for youth bands to perform in concerts.

Father Abraham
  The work is ideal for youth bands

A classic children's tune from composer Michael Pilley's childhood growing up in the Salvation Army, 'Father Abraham' is a catchy melody that also has matching actions — perfect for youth bands.

Focus on fun

With the focus on fun, this arrangement has many different features, from a Bb Bass solo to start the frivolity, trombones "wolf whistling", a two note 2nd Horn solo, sleazy plunger work, a truck horn, and conductor choreography to top it all off!

Price: £20.00
