Keith Brion - Music for Wind Band - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

John Philip Sousa's swift rise to fame and greatness came at a time when band concerts were the most important aspect of musical life in the U.S. The works on this recording range from the early Revival March of 1876 and the stirring Right Forward March from Sousa's time as conductor of the U.S. Marine band, to the Inchup-to-dateInch 1920's fox-trot Peaches and Cream and the 1923 Leaves from My Notebook, dedicated to the Campfire Girls of America. Music from Sousa's operetta Chris and the Wonderful Lamp can be found alongside his medley of tunes from Gilbert and Sullivan's the Mikado, which includes many of the hit tunes from this operetta, while the Honored Dead was performed at President Ulysses S. Grant's funeral. Album Tracks 1. Sound Off March 2. Peaches and Cream 3. Transit of Venus March 4. Marching Through Georgia 5. The Coquette 6. The Summer Girl 7. The Dancing Girl 8. Mikado March 9.
