Washburn County by Randy Sabien (String Orchestra, Grade 2.5) is a charming, folk-inspired piece that blends a haunting, flute-like melody over long, resonant drones with a lively fiddle tune grounded by a steady drumbeat. The music transitions seamlessly into a 6/8 Irish groove and gains momentum while featuring written solos across the ensemble, capturing the cultural heritage of Northern Wisconsin with accessible energy and warmth.
