find a more deeply moving musical tribute to the
events of that day. It is reflective, intense, somber
and inspiring. Very highly recommended.

You'll be swept back in time as this programmatic
work recounts the tale of a race between two
Mississippi River paddleboats. The tune Waitin' for

makes this a superb choice for any concert setting.
Very highly recommended!

n Greek Folk Song SuiteFranco Cesarini. The
passion and infectious rhythms of Greek folk are
what this fine three-movement work for band
is all about! Each movement has its own unique
character and charm, but you will surely be carried
away by the third movement, that recalls the sirtaki,
the most popular Greek dance, characterized by a
grand accelerando. "My Big, Fat Greek Wedding"
and the spin-off television show has made Greek
culture familiar to audiences everywhere, so it's a
great time to program captivating Greek folk music!

approaching conflict. A great opportunity for cross-
curricular teaching, this provides an addition to
concert programming that is hard to beat.
