View sample score

Intriguing concert or contest piece for mid-level bands depicting the story of runaway slaves making their way north via the Underground Railroad using “ a lantern in the window” as their guide to safe houses along the way. Very dramatic and provides many opportunities for independent and expressive playing by your mid-level students. The spiritual, "Steal Away" emerges near the climax of the piece.  Much more sophisticated that is usual at this grade level.
