The concert band setting is by William. Ballenger, Chairman of the Music Depart­ ment at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. The original setting is for two INTERMISSION choirs, one male and one female. The wind setting maintains this separation of musical ideas through the brass and woodwind families.
