Festivity

“The Long Ships” leaving the shore and sailing through stormy seas before discovering new land on the horizon. A tribute to the Viking Explorer Leif Eiriksson’s discovery and landfall in North America. Composed by Rodney Newton. Commissioned and conducted by Russell Gray. Performed by GBB at the 2005 National Championship. It’s a wonderful piece of music This might be the only recording of the piece. It should be played more often! 🇳🇴🇺🇸🇬🇧
