The Maid of the Mist (Solo Cornet and Concert Band) (Conductor Score & Parts) (Eighth Note Publications) David Marlatt

This fun light piece is a great showpiece for the cornet. It is named after the sight-seeing boats for tourists in Niagara Falls. Set as a polka, there is much opportunity for the soloist to display quick fingers and light triple tonguing.

To create a clean new edition, dynamics and articulations were made more consistent in the parts. Other items were changed to reflect the bands of today including F Horn parts rather than Eb and the percussion parts have been reorganized.

This is the first time this work has been available with a full conductor score rather than a piano reduction.
