An American FanfareRick Kirby. This dynamic

strains of America (My Country 'Tis of Thee) and

The actual melody is stated only once in its
entirety. Many liberties are taken with both melodic
and harmonic elements of the original, making a
breathtaking presentation!

H
Fantasy on Yankee DoodleMark Williams.
This is a refreshing and exciting work! Yankee
Doodle seems like such a simple melody, but it's
amazing how well Mark Williams develops it using
a set of variations. Although opened by a humorous
statement of the theme by solo tuba, you'll soon
find that this is not a novelty piece. The varied
styles and moods are displayed in well-written
music that is perfectly held together by the original
theme. Excellent!

melodic, patriotic song was written as a contribution
to the war effort during World War I. The delightful

Red Cross, assisting in the raising a considerable
