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!
10072345 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . .70.00
American Flourish—Robert W. Smith. An
excellent programming choice that's easy to
prepare and extremely effective! Based on
traditional American melodies Yankee Doodle,
When Johnny Comes Marching Home and
Shenandoah, this thrilling setting is a musically
substantive addition to the repertoire. Perfect
as a concert opener or any concert that
requires an American patriotic selection.

American Salute (based on "When Johnny
Comes Marching Home")—Morton Gould/arr.
Wagner. This monumental work has been a
staple in orchestra and band repertoire for over
50 years. Easily recognizable, highly energetic,
and immensely popular, this arrangement
retains all the fervor of the original, and by
rescoring the instrumentation, allows many
more groups the opportunity to enjoy this
outstanding composition. Highly recommended!

An American Spectacular (A Musical
History of the United States)—arr. Chris
Sharp. Treat your audience to an incredible
salute to America that provides a thorough
musical history of the 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: God Save the
Queen; The Girl I Left Behind Me; Chester;
Hail, Columbia; Columbia, Gem of the Ocean;
Shenandoah; When Johnny Comes Marching
Home; The Battle Cry of Freedom; Over There
and The Caisson Song. The grand finale
features a rousing rendition of the beloved
anthem America, the Beautiful. A magnificent
tribute to our homeland!

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.

Fantasy on Yankee Doodle—arr. 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 T. Smith. A stirring chorale prelude
in Smith's grandiose style that even offers
optional audience participation. Great fanfares
help to make this a real crowd pleaser!

Indivisible!—Shaun Salem. A substantial
addition to the repertoire - a unique and
memorable alto sax solo introduction is
featured, accompanied by clustered wind
tones. Original material ebbs and flows with
haunting melodies that intertwine with short
segments of the national anthem. The piece
concludes with an uplifting ending that captures
the sentiment that we all stand united.

Proudly They Served—Jerry Brubaker.
This stunning work celebrates the men and
women, past and present, who have served
in the U.S. Armed Forces. Mostly original
material is interwoven with snippets of the
U.S. Armed Forces anthems (The Army
Goes Rolling Along; The U.S. Air Force; The
Marines' Hymn; Anchors Aweigh and Semper
Paratus) to bring this wonderful tribute to life.
The primary melody is singable, respectful,
and memorable, and comfortably welcomes
segments of all the major service songs as they
make their appearance throughout. A perfect
selection for Memorial Day, Veterans Day, or
any concert with a patriotic theme. (4:46)

The Star-Spangled Banner—arr. Walter
Damrosch & John Philip Sousa. Finally,

performed arrangements. A full score includes
fascinating historical background.

The Star-Spangled Banner—arr. Jack Stamp.
Set in a symphonic style rather than a march

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