Paris Chambers was one of the most acclaimed march composers of the latter half of the 19th century, and this wonderful march shows why! The unique organ-like middle section has an almost hymn-like character that makes it special in the march genre. 3012771 Band Set & Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Reeves (1838-1900) was a skilled cornet soloist and band leader. He was called the "Father of Band Music in the U.S.A." He wrote over 150 marches, galops and polkas. In 1981, The Second Connecticut Regiment was named one of the three "most worthy marches" by Col. William Santelmann, Director of the United States Marine Band. This new edition, by another former conductor of the Marine Band, brings the work up to the standards of his former band's library. 3011901 Band Set & Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In 1911 Johan Halvorsen composed incidental music for a production of Ludvig Holberg's play "The Lying-in Room" and later arranged the music into his "Suite Ancienne Op. 31." The suite in five movements contains some of Halvorsen's most descriptive musical output. In harmony and instrumentation, he bursts the bounds of his baroque canvas, imbuing his music with the unmistakable stamp of Neoclassicism. The five movements consists of: 1. Intrada, 2. Air con variations, 3. Gigue, 4. Sarabande, and 5. Bouree. The arranger, Colonel John Bourgeois, has also arranged Halvorsen's In Memoriam, Op.30 and the four-movement "Little Masquerade Suite." He notes that the "Suite Ancienne" may be played as a complete entity or each of the movements may be performed individually. 3015751 Band Set & Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The music in Sunflower Slow Drag is full of brightness and levity, having the light, upbeat character found in many of Joplin's happiest compositions. After a brief introductory passage, the jaunty main theme appears in all its ragtime cheer, typical of Joplin's works. The closing is especially reminiscent of the ending of his more famous The Entertainer and while not as well known, this cheerful four minute works deserves the same fame and popularity. Originally scored for chamber winds, optional parts have been included for larger ensembles. 3015371 Band Set & Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Fans of great, stately European marches will be drawn to this modern edition of this stylish march. Reminiscent of other popular marches by this composer, it incorporates the use of distinctive regimental trumpeting fanfares in the final strain. This modern edition allows today's wind bands to experience this wonderful march and display the true depth and effect of its grand style. 3014911 Band Set & Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

With the opening of the Iron Curtain, an incredible wealth of previously unknown symphonic band material has been discovered, and this amazing work stands out as a masterpiece. 14 minutes long, this four-movement symphony for winds is reminiscent of Prokofiev and Ewald, and is as powerful as the orchestral symphonies of Kalinnikov! Top-level symphonic bands will want to consider this important work for their repertoire! 3012461 Band Set & Score. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
