This is a throw-back to the renowned ragtime style, first coming onto the music scene in the late 1800’s. The most famous composer being Scott Joplin and later in the 1930’s, popularised by the Green Brothers on xylophone. The solo part employs quintessential ragtime xylophone figures and plenty of syncopated accents. The off-beat chordal emphasis of the piano accompaniment provides that uplifting ‘oompah’ feel. Suitable for grade 4 standard.
