A Nostalgic American Gem — Arranged for Concert Band by Marc Oliver

Kentucky Dream is a charming, nostalgic American piece by S. R. Henry, evoking the gentle, pastoral beauty of the Kentucky countryside. Henry was a prolific composer of popular and light concert music in the early twentieth century, and Kentucky Dream exemplifies his gift for warm, singable melodies and easy, unpretentious charm. The piece has the quality of a fond memory — unhurried, graceful, and deeply pleasant.

This edition presents Kentucky Dream in a concert band arrangement by Marc Oliver, making this nostalgic American gem accessible to wind ensembles of all levels. A lovely and accessible addition to any concert band program.
