Bonnie Eloise (The Belle of the Mohawk Vale) P. Thomas / Arr. Ronald C. Knoener

Bonnie Eloise' was a favorite of both armies during the Civil War. Mr. Knoener's setting opens with a hearty cadence of snare drums and field drums, and then fifes (piccolo and flute) are added. The piece is in A - B - A form: A is Bonnie Eloise,' B is original material by the composer. Mr. Knoener's love of Civil War music is evident in this fine arrangement for the modern concert band!
