l America, the Beautiful—arr. David R. Gillingham.
This gorgeous setting of the ever-popular anthem is
creative and majestic. While preserving the beauty
of the hymn, the fresh and somewhat contemporary
accompaniment never strays too far from the
simple and appealing melody. It transcends some
of the harmonies and scoring we have heard and
grown to expect over the years.

for band alone or with chorus! (The U. S. Army
song is the original The Caissons Go Rolling Along
version.) Reproducible string parts are also included
in the set. You will definitely want this amazing
patriotic medley in your library!

Ask Not (A Musical Tribute to the Life of JFK)
—James Swearingen. A glimpse of American history
is unveiled with this stunning work that musically
reflects the life and times of our 35th President, John
Fitzgerald Kennedy. Through the use of a narrator, a
wealth of information is provided to bring music and
history together in a winning combination. School,
community and military bands will find this to be an
important programming selection.

The Banner Yet Waves—David Gorham. This
exuberant concert work provides a thrilling way to
open or close any performance in a grand manner.
Cleverly written, this original piece includes
melodic fragments of The Star-Spangled Banner
that emerge throughout, constantly hinting at the
famous anthem before being absorbed into the

Echoes from the Battlefield (Great Songs
of World War I)—arr. Darren W. Jenkins. This
tuneful medley commemorates World War I with
four songs that were popular and widely performed
during that historic era. It opens with the well-
known Over There, which is followed by It's a Long
Way from Tipperary. The warm and moving Keep
the Home Fires Burning then follows before closing
with the jaunty and morale-boosting Pack Up Your
Troubles in an Old Kit Bag.

l The Forge of Freedom—Travis J. Weller.
George Washington and the Continental Army's
withdrawal to Valley Forge was one of the
darkest chapters of the Revolutionary War. The
demoralized mood of the troops is conveyed by
the Revolutionary-era hymn Chester in a minor
setting. The tempo then picks up, ushering in a
new spirit as the Continental Army perseveres
through the harsh winter and becomes a
hardened fighting force. Finally, Chester is
triumphantly presented in a major key as the
now-formidable army emerges, ready to take up
the fight and secure America's independence.

H Irving Berlin's America—arr. Roger Emerson
& Paul Murtha. The 20th century was Irving
Berlin's own, and his music was America's
music - and still is! This spectacular 10-minute
medley for choir and piano, with optional band
or full orchestra accompaniment, features six
of his greatest hits: Alexander's Ragtime Band;
There's No Business Like Show Business; Puttin'
On The Ritz; Always; Blue Skies and God Bless
America. A fabulous closer for patriotic or festival
performances. Irving Berlin was a true American
treasure, and this special tribute to his beloved
music will be a favorite for many years to come!
Very highly recommended!

Songs of Soldiers—Travis Weller. The Civil
War songs When Johnny Comes Marching Home
and Johnny's Gone for a Soldier form the melodic
basis for this exuberant, celebratory work honoring
the end of war and and the return of soldiers. A
shifting kaleidoscope of instrumental effects in 6/8
time climaxes in a masterful combining of the two
themes for a thrilling conclusion. Great for concerts
or patriotic events.

l The Star-Spangled Banner—arr. Ed Huckeby.
This concert setting of the national anthem is
bold, creative, and filled with patriotic energy.
Using an imaginative mixture of 3/4 and 4/4
time signatures, the rhythms and harmonies
are distinctly fresh and innovative, yet always
respectful of the original melody. An optional
vocal/choral part is included, adding to the
programming possibilities and effectiveness.
10908351 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . 68.00
Thank You, Soldiers—Michael & Angela Souders/
arr. Brubaker. "Because of your great sacrifice,
your country joins to sing." Patriotism and
gratitude prevail in this moving tribute to the men
and women of our armed forces. To make your
performance extra special, use the DVD to project
an inspiring photo essay onto a large screen. This
can be performed with or without choral parts so
the video includes two versions, with or without
overlaid lyrics.

Swearingen. This stirring arrangement of beloved

An American Fanfare—Rick Kirby. This dynamic
concert opener takes the normally hymn-like
strains of America (My Country 'Tis of Thee) and
incorporates it into a fast and energetic fanfare.
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!

a concert opener or any concert that requires an

American Salute (based on When Johnny
Comes Marching Home)—Morton Gould/

An American Spectacular (A Musical History
of the United States)—arr. Chris Sharp. Treat

United States. Featuring a multitude of well-
known tunes, the medley's timeline begins
when our country was still a colony of the British
Empire. It continues through the Revolutionary
War, the War of 1812, the westward expansion,
the Civil War and World War I. Included are:

Me; Chester; Hail, Columbia; Columbia, Gem of
the Ocean; Shenandoah; When Johnny Comes

H Battle Hymn of the Republic—arr. Peter J.
Wilhousky & James Neilson. This classic setting
of this stirring hymn is an excellent opportunity for
combined band and choir performances and makes
for an unforgettable musical experience.

Battle Hymn of the Republic—Peter J. Wilhousky/
arr. Justin P. Tokke. A beloved staple in the
American patriotic vernacular. This famous and
longtime favorite arrangement is the setting that has
become the standard for this enduring song. This
critical edition of the piece includes for the first time

and performance practice of this monumental work.
A must-have for all music libraries.

H
Fantasy on Yankee Doodle—Mark 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!

God of Our Fathers (Chorale Prelude)—Claude

4 Home of the Brave (A Fantasia on "The Star-
Spangled Banner")—arr. John M. Pasternak.
The title stems from a final sentence in The Star-
Spangled Banner that the United States and its flag
will endure. This innovative arrangement takes
a contemporary approach to the Star-Spangled
Banner as the melody line is woven through various
instrumental solo lines that rise above new and
intriguing harmonies. The work culminates with the
traditional playing of "O say does that star-spangled
banner yet wave..." before fading into the distance
with great effect.
10910254 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . 99.00
Our Own Red, White and Blue (March and One
Step)—Henry Fillmore/ed. Robert E. Foster. This
melodic, patriotic song was written as a contribution
to the war effort during World War I. The delightful
march was performed for fund-raising efforts for the
Red Cross, assisting in the raising a considerable
amount for that worthy cause. Tuneful and lively, it
was also very popular as a ballroom dance with its
active rhythms and bright melodies.

The Star-Spangled Banner—arr. Walter
Damrosch & John Philip Sousa. Finally, here's a
concert-sized version of this superb setting! Richly
harmonized in 1917 by Walter Damrosch and

of the most widely performed arrangements. A full
score includes fascinating historical background.

twists, this is a very refreshing treatment of our
National Anthem!

l
To the Colors—John Prescott. The flag of the
United States of America inspires tremendous
emotion. One of the most stirring moments occurs
when the flag is raised and To the Colors is played.
Suitable for concerts or patriotic presentations, this
resounding concert work is constructed around
the famous bugle call for a serious programming
selection that is substantial as well as memorable.
It pays tribute to the flag and the men and women
who have served our country while providing a
remarkably impressive addition to concert repertoire.
