An American in Paris (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Gershwin, George - Cesarini, Franco

In this symphonic poem, George Gershwin portrays a day in the life of an American tourist in Paris. The music accompanies him along the Champs Elysees and through the Latin Quarter, where he becomes - in the form of a blues - overwhelmed by homesickness. A meeting with a fellow countryman brings back the upbeat mood, and our tourist enjoys the typical French atmosphere. A delightful trip to the French capital!Duration: 19:45

An American Tapestry (Concert Band) - Kallman, Daniel

An American Tapestry is a continuous medley of three American folk songs: the happy-go-lucky The Girl I Left Behind Me, the sombre and reflective He's Gone Away, and the foot-stompin' hoedown Ol' Dan Tucker. The setting was originally composed for chamber winds (11 players) and has been completely rescored by the composer in this edition for full wind ensemble. The contrasting tempi and sentiments of the tunes, enlivened with unique and colourful harmonies and instrumentation, contribute to make this appealing for wind players from high school to professional.Duration: 7:15

An Australian Sea Ballad (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Sheldon, Robert

The Australian folk song "Catalpa" was inspired by the escape of Irish prisoners from a jail in Freemantle, Western Australia in 1876. It is said that the song became so popular in area pubs that it was banned and anyone caught singing it would be arrested. This beautiful setting allows for the utmost blend and sonority of the full band and provides a wonderful contrasting moment in any concert program. Duration: 3.00

This lovely setting for young band provides opportunities for expression and lyricism on any holiday concert.

An der Schonen Blauen Donau (The Blue Danube) (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Strauss, Johann - Van der Beek, Wil

An der schonen blauen Donau (The Blue Danube Waltz) has had more success as a concert waltz than in the original choral version: since its victorious performance at the World Exhibition in Paris (1867) it has achieved fame world-wide. In Austria An der schonen blauen Donau has even become an unofficial anthem. At the traditional New Year's concert given by the Vienna Philharmonic, this waltz, along with Radetzky March by Johann Strauss the Elder, is always played as an encore.Duration: 14:30
