Irish Lullaby is based on the song Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral (That's an Irish Lullaby). Carl Strommen does what he does best in creating a beautifully orchestrated piece with diverse harmonies that will be the highlight of your next concert. It will be a great piece to teach phrasing and musicianship.Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral (“That’s An Irish Lullaby†) was written in 1913 by composer James Royce Shannon (1881–1946) for the Tin Pan Alley musical, Shameen Dhu. The original recording by Chauncy Olcott became No. 1 on the music charts. The song was then brought back to prominence by Bing Crosby’s performance in the film Going My Way (1944). Crosby’s solo sold over one million copies.The University of Notre Dame Band, started in 1845, is the oldest college band (in continuous existence) in the United States. The band played as students left to join the armies during the Civil War, World War 1 and 2, Korea and Vietnam. In 1871, the band played a benefit concert for the victims of the Great Chicago Fire. The bands performances in countless settings and venues include the Sydney Opera House, Bejing Concert Hall, Carnegie Hall, and, in 2011, was awarded the prestigious Sudler Trophy, considered the “Heisman Trophy†of Collegiate bands.The Bands Director, Ken Dye, is only the sixth director in its long history.

Jam on Top was commissioned by Thomas Wittig for the Forest Lakes Elementary School fifth grade band, under the direction of Amy Thornsen, in memory of beloved music teacher, Mr. Dominic (Nick) Selvi. Nick had a passion for jazz and loved playing the style with his students. This piece is written in a standard blues chord progression (with courtesy accidentals written to introduce the blues scale) and can be performed in a straight rock or a swing-jazz feel. Special care should be taken to play all articulations to ensure the proper style. Nick was a saxophonist, and m. 39 could feature a solo, duet, trio or a saxophone soli section. In addition, mm. 39a50 could be opened up to have multiple soloists perform the solo in the style of an open jazz vamp. The drum parts are written for multiple players or could feature one player on drum set and the others improvising on accessory instruments such as cowbell, shaker, tambourine, etc. It is my hope that the performers will use this piece learn about blues chord progressions, blues scales in a pop, rock or jazz style.Jam on Top was commissioned by Thomas Wittig for the Forest Lakes Elementary School fifth grade band, under the direction of Amy Thornsen, in memory of beloved music teacher, Mr. Dominic (Nick) Selvi.
