Upon hearing the words "Big Sky Country," one typically thinks of Montana. This piece, however, depicts any place where the sky is vast, the view expansive, and the setting natural. The elements of the music, with sweeping melodic phrases and a few key changes, (G, C, D) suggest a spirit of adventure, freedom, the outdoors, and the beauty of the land. This lively piece, with melodic parts for all and using slurs, accents, divisi, syncopation, and accidentals, will capture the enthusiasm of players and audience alike!
