The Golden Age of the Concert Band - USAF Heritage of America Band
* You may also purchase individual songs as MP3 downloads below
The Golden Age of the Concert Band in America roughly spans the period from Patrick Gilmore's assumption of leadership of the Boston Brigade Band in 1859, to the 1956 death of Edwin Franko Goldman, the leader of the New York Military Band. The pioneering conductors of the Golden Age were not merely brilliant musical leaders; they were also tireless entertainers and publicists, larger-that-life celebrities whose energetic patriotism and consummate showmanship awakened the American public to the value of the modern concert band. This album highlights the four influential bandleaders of the Golden Age: Gilmore, Sousa, Fillmore, and Goldman, and recreates the type of programming they used with their own bands.
