GREAT band music

[SousaSaver]

ANYTHING by David Maslanka. He takes everything that is wonderful about wind ensembles and makes it sound very modern.

[PWtuba]

One or two of these are repeats, but here's my list:

Maslanka: Give Us This Day

Grantham: Bum's Rush and Starry Crown

Gorb: Yiddish Dances

Ellerby: Paris Sketches

Syler: The Hound of Heaven

"Scenes from the Louvre is a five movement work depicting the development of the Louvre during the Renaissance. Written by Norman Dello Joio, it was originally for the 1964 NBC television series on the Louvre. After winning the Emmy for outstanding television score, it was adapted for band a year later for the Baldwin-Wallace College Wind Ensemble."

Who knew?

I second John Barnes Chance; his stuff is fun to play.

Alfred Reed "Armenian Dances I and II"

Karl King marches

I, too, like the Holst pieces.

Wish there was more....

I second Suite of Old American Dances, the Holst Suites,The Universal Judgment, and most of the music of Alfred Reed, Vaclav Nelyhbel, Frances MacBeth, Norman Dello Joio, John Barnes Chance, and Caesar Giovannini.
