Symphonic Band Performances

Contemporary band compositions, classical music arrangements, marches, jazz, symphonies, overtures. A collection from bands that I have played in throughout hi

Hello and welcome! "Symphonic Band Performances" is a compilation of recordings from several high school and college bands that I played in including the TMEA (Texas) All State Band, the TMEA Region X All Region Band, the Interlochen Arts Academy National Music Camp, the Cal Poly Tech Band, San Luis Obispo, the USAF Golden West Band, and recordings from my h.s. band, Beaumont H.S. and a few band recordings that were passed down to me. Also included are various All State groups and college and university bands. I participated and played in the large majority of these recordings. There are no professional recordings here and every recording is Public Domain. Most are available for free download. Each song has been converted from the original analog or digital source and edited with Audacity or Dak software. In the majority of these recordings, I play the tenor sax or alto sax, b flat or e flat clarinet, or directing. I was drum major for 2 years in high school, I have a BA from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, where I studied music ed, composition and theory. I had about 500 more recordings I was planning to digitize and upload, but this past Nov. 20th, my home was completely destroyed by fire, and all the contents, including all my music and instruments. So, this is it. Please feel free to post a comment here or on my member page. If you like, please become a fan by clicking "I'm a fan" below.

Story behind the song

The third symphony, subtitled Slavyanskaya, is based on folk themes from the composer's birthplace and is in four movements. The first is based on two folk songs of contrasting style. The second movement is a waltz featuring pairs of clarinets, cornets, and euphoniums. The third movement is a demanding scherzo with technical virtuosity demanded of every section, especially the solo piccolo. The fourth and final movement is reminiscent of the first, however the thematic material is unique. While a brief work in duration, the Symphony No. 3 is among the first symphonies composed for concert band and is only now being introduced to American audiences in a modern edition prepared by Colonel John R. Bourgeois.
