New flexible ensemble arrangement by Clarence Barber, based on the second edition rescored by the composer, playable on any SSATB combination of woodwind, brass, or string players with optional percussion.

Since its publication, it has become one of the composer's most popular works, and has been arranged for a variety of ensembles.
