Emblems (Digital Only) - US Marine Band
* You may also purchase individual songs as MP3 downloads below
The title track of this album, "Emblems," is Aaron Copland's only original composition for band, and it is intended as a work of substance: "music that is representative of the composer's best work . . . not written with all sorts of technical and practical limitations"- in Copland's own words. The rest of the album, containing tracks by composers such as Vincent Persichetti and Paul Hindemith, allows the listener the greatest freedom to decide "what [the music] means." Emblems, a compilation recorded by the United States Marine Band, contains important pieces and movements such as "Funeral Music for Queen Mary", "Aria della battaglia" and "Symphony in B-Flat for Band." Directed by Colonel Timothy W. Foley, the United States Marine Band plays beautifully on each piece, bringing new meanings to the characteristics of great music. Buy CD at
