OLD SETTLERS’ PICNIC is a is a four-movement suite for Band by Eric Ewazen, arranged by Virginia Allen; each movement is published separately. Composed with high school performers in mind, the suite was inspired by an 1890s photograph and descriptions of a Wisconsin town’s “Old Settlers” celebration.

As the party winds down, EVENING WALTZ is a beautifully melodic and lilting waltz movement.
