n 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

n Each Time You Tell Their StorySamuel Hazo.
"No soldiers choose to die. It's what they risk being
who and where they are. It's what they dare while
saving someone else whose life means suddenly as
much to them as theirs. Or more. To honor them,
why speak of duty or the will of governments? Think
first of love each time you tell their story. It gives
their sacrifice a name and takes from war its glory."
These poignant words by the poet Dr. Samuel
J. Hazo are matched equally with appropriately
dignified music composed by his son, Samuel R.
Hazo. This music for concert band with narrator is
respectful, reverent, and reaches a depth of emotion
that will touch the hearts of your audience.

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

Troubles in an Old Kit Bag.

4 O'er the Land of the FreeJohnnie Vinson.
Composed in 2014, this piece commemorates
the anniversaries of important events in American
history: the writing of The Star-Spangled Banner
in 1814, the beginning of World War I in 1914,
and the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France in
1944. The primary theme is original, with motives
from America the Beautiful and The Star-Spangled
Banner interwoven throughout. A well-conceived
and skillful lyric treatment for young concert band!

An American FanfareRick 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!

American Salute (based on When Johnny

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!

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!

4 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.

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.

n The Star Spangled BannerJohn Stafford
Smith/arr. Brian Balmages. Premiered by the
Ohio All-State Band, this stunning and emotional
arrangement pays homage to the amazing
performance by Bruce Hornsby and Branford
Marsalis at the 1991 NBA All-Star Game. That
performance visibly affected many in the audience
in a deep way, and this arrangement is designed to
evoke those same emotions. True to the original,
yet with a contemporary spin that does not go too
far. Amazingly powerful!

n The Star-Spangled Bannerarr. Jack Stamp.
Set in a symphonic style rather than a march style,
with some surprising and effective harmonic twists,
this is a very refreshing treatment of our National
Anthem!
