A Must Have For All Audiophile Music Lovers

Side One : 

1. Liberty Fanfare (4:14)

Liberty Fanfare was composed for the centennial celebration of the Statue of Liberty in 1986. This fanfare set the stage for one of the most spectacular celebrations in America’s history .

2. Commando March (3:29)

Composed in 1943, “Commando March” represents Barber’s first band work. Written in a quadruple meter, the composition utilizes the constant contrast of dotted and triplet rhythms while the melody is presented four times in different orchestrations.

3. Festive Fanfare March (5:11)     

Festive Fanfare March, the third in his series of fanfare marches, received the Ostwald Award in composition by the American Bandmasters Association in 1973. It is a work that is technical, bright in color, and effervescent in Spirit.

4. Victory at Sea (10:14)

Victory at Sea was among the most watched and respected television series in the history of that medium. Richard Rodgers composed the music for the twenty-six half hour episodes. Robert Russell Bennett, the unsurpassed arranger of the time, arranged the music giving it the color and feeling that matched the pictures. Thus we have thirteen hours of music that captures the emotional dimension of war at sea. This arrangement by Bennett samples highlights from those episodes, communicating that which neither camera or word could convey.                                      

Side Two : 

1. El Camino Real (10:07)

El Camino Real, which literally means “The Kings Highway”, bears the subtitle “A Latin Fantasy”. The piece was completed in 1985. The first section of music is based on the dance form known as the “Jota”, while the second, contrasting section is derived from the “Fandango”, but is altered in both time and tempo from its usual form.

2. A Santa Cecilia (3:00)

“A Santa Cecilia” is an Italian march written for St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music. Unlike the marches of John Philip Sousa, Karl King and Henry Fillmore, Italian marches are usually lyrical and moderately slow. This march is a fine example of the significant contributions that Italians have made to American wind band music.

3. Symphonic Dance # 3 (6:27)

Composed in 1964. Fiesta is one of a group of five pieces originally commissioned for the 25th anniversary of the San Antonio Symphony. This piece depicts the pageantry of Latin American celebrations - street bands to bull fights.
