recordings

A little Google search can turn up a lot, but I'll offer up what I know off hand...

The Calvin College Band did it and recorded it on their Tour 2000 CD. It seems to be the only readily available recording.

There are other recordings out there:

The original recording done by the University of Minnesota Band under the direction of Frank Bencriscutto was recorded in the late 1960s or early 1970s as part of their Russian tour on LP with Stan Fresse (sp?) playing tuba (of "Play the Country Tuba, Cowboy" fame). This record will be VERY difficult to find.

There have been several performances of the piece by professional players soloing with college bands that have been recorded as well. These are usually more difficult to get and only belong to the school in which the recording was made, but if you're a university student, these kinds of things can often be obtained through inter-library loan. You'll have to do your own searching if you want to dig up some of these recordings.

I had some trouble trying to find the page to order that CD from the Calvin College Band. If someone could tell me a page where I could fill out an order form, I'd appreciate it.
