Description:
This traditional tune, 'The Cumberland's Crew,' was inspired by the historic gunship battle between the wooden Cumberland and the ironclad Virginia in 1862. The light and airy melody in 3/4 time develops a variety of textures and voicings and builds to a dramatic conclusion. This is an ideal choice to showcase the musicality of your developing band. (2:30)
