SUMMARY:June Concert - "American Salute"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a very special concert entitled “American Salute” \n\n\n\nDate: Sunday\, June 22\, 2025 at 3:00pm \n\n\n\nGalvin Middle School 525 Main Street Wakefield MA \n\n\n\nOur program includes: \n\n\n\nCelebration Overture – Paul Creston \n\n\n\nCelebration Overture is a work meant to reflect a celebration of life and all of the wonderful and positive events we are fortunate enough to experience.  (Source) \n\n\n\nOld Home Days – Charles Ives arr Jonathan Elkus \n\n\n\nThe songs and sketches assembled in this suite reflect Ives’s lifelong love of familiar tunes and home grown music making. (Source) \n\n\n\nThe King of Love My Shephard Is – arr. by Jess Langsten Turner \n\n\n\nThe King of Love My Shepherd Is is an 1868 hymn with lyrics written by Henry Williams Baker\, based on the Welsh version of Psalm 23 and the work of Edmund Prys.  (Source) \n\n\n\nBlue Shades – Frank Ticheli \n\n\n\nThis composition reflects Frank Ticheli’s love for the traditional jazz music that he heard so often while growing up near new Orleans. Blue Shades was his opportunity to express his own musical style in this medium. (Source) \n\n\n\nAmerican Salute – Morton Gould\, edt. Lang \n\n\n\nThis is a tribute to all things American\, based on When Johnny Comes Marching Home. Morton Gould develops and embellishes the folk melody with splendor and verve\, and Philip Lang’s transcription is a challenge well worth the effort!  (Source) \n\n\n\nMain Street Celebration – Steven Reineke \n\n\n\nBrimming with catchy melody\, sprightly imitation and colorful orchestration\, this really captures the feeling of a street celebration! On the easy side of medium\, it is simply delightful! (Source) \n\n\n\nThemes Like Old Times – arr.  Warren Barker \n\n\n\nere’s a clever arrangement that is perfect for community bands and concerts in the park! Songs included are: Alexander’s Ragtime Band; Peg O’ My Heart; I Want A Girl (Just Like The Girl That Married Dear Old Dad); By The Light Of The Silvery Moon and Twelfth Street Rag. Sparkling! (Source) \n\n\n\nAshokan Farewell – Jay Unger arr. Calvin Custer \n\n\n\n“Ashokan Farewell” is a musical piece composed by the American folk musician Jay Ungar in 1982. For many years\, it served as a goodnight or farewell waltz at the annual Ashokan Fiddle & Dance Camps\, run by Ungar and his wife Molly Mason\, who named the tune after the Ashokan Field Campus (now the Ashokan Center) of SUNY New Paltz in Upstate New York. (Source) \n\n\n\nTribute to the Count – arr. Sammy Nestico \n\n\n\nDuring Nestico’s eight-decade career\, he produced a large number of arrangements for jazz and big band ensembles. Many of these arrangements were written for groups like the Count Basie Orchestra (CBO)\, with whom Nestico had a long working relationship from the late 1960s until Basie’s death in 1984.  This arrangement includes April in Paris\, Lil Darlin\, Shiny Stockings and One O’Clock Jump. (Source) \n\n\n\nStar Wars\, The Marches – John Williams\, arr. Brubaker \n\n\n\nSo many stunning marches were part of these epic motion pictures that they had to be combined in one powerful piece. This arrangement features: Star Wars (Main Theme); Parade of the Ewoks; The Imperial March; Augie’s Great Municipal Band and The Throne Room. A bold medley of a wide variety of marches that will ensure a standing ovation!
