US Marine Band - Symphonic Dances: Disc on Demand

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:42:42 -0500

]]>

Symphonic Dances is an energetic and delightful album of (you guessed it) symphonic pieces, brought to you by the US Marine Band. The album begins with the beautiful four-part "Suite from Pineapple Poll," a ballet Sir Charles Mackerras created based on works by Sir Arthur Sullivan of Gilbert and Sullivan fame. The ballet suite is followed by the Ravel waltz "Le Valse," which is a dark but lovely piece composed as a tribute to the Viennese waltz tradition. The Marine band then tackles the big symphonic sound of Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story with "Symphonic Dances from West Side Story," and the medley of songs flows with great style and flair throughout, managing to perfectly capture the story the musical tells. Also featuring "Danse Funambulesque" and "Dances from 'Estancia'," Symphonic Dances pulls out all the stops to bring you exciting symphonic music that can be enjoyed anytime!

]]>

When hostilities began in 1914, there were of course no war songs as such. In their absence, soldiers, as well as those they left behind, took over existing Music Hall favourites: sentimental ballads like "There's a Long Trail A-Winding" and novelty numbers like "Tipperary," together with the occasional survival from earlier wars, such as "Goodbye, Dolly Gray." The songs written by the soldiers themselves told a different and more interesting story. This unique collection covers the full range of songs associated with the two major wars of the 20th Century, as sung by a chorus of soldiers from today's army. Whether they evoke sympathy, patriotism, or nostalgia, these songs remain a poweful document of terrible conflict.

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:36:35 -0600

]]>

Tattoo: a word born out of the wars in the Low Countries at the beginning of the eighteenth century - a guard patrolling the streets beating th singal to empty the taverns. It was time for the soldiers to return to quarter, to 'Doe den tap toe,' literall "Turn of the taps." Tap toe became Tattoo, a ceremony at sunset. A hymn is added - then entertainment until it becomes what we know today: part parade, part theatre, and sometimes part circus. From those humble origins the Tattoo has grown in size and ambition. Whether the setting is large or small, Tattooes are all about getting the pulses racing and stirring the blood. With the help of leading Tattoo organizers and experts, "Tattooes and Tournaments" shows how it's done.

Commemoration features the outstanding works of several composers, arrangers and educators who have influenced the symphonic band idiom in the United States. This is American band music at its finest, and we are proud to preserve this repertoire for generations to come. We also recognize the selfless dedication of Zachary and Elizabeth M. Fisher who played an important part in the support of our Navy's people, and the defense of our great nation. The contribution to the welfare of our armed forces is unparalleled. We are pleased to dedicate the Intrepid March to them, and we were thrilled to perform at Carnegie Hall in March 1996. The recordings on this compact disc are exciting and I think you'll agree that the band's performance is brilliant. On behalf if the men and women of the United States Navy Band, I am very proud to present Commemoration.

]]>
Songs That Got Us Through WWII Volume 2 is the second of a two-volume series featuring even more of the hits that kept the home fires burning and brought a little bit of America to the G.I.s overseas. They may have rationed meat, milk, canned goods, and gasoline, but there was no limit to the musical talent during World War II. Morale-boosting sounds on the home front and "over there" were one of the Allies' most potent weapons. WWII gave birth to many of the 1940s' most popular artists and songs, as well as many of the most important independent record labels. Compiled and developed by singer/songwriter/music historian Billy Vera, Songs That Got Us Through WWII Vol. 2 features many of the era's biggest artists, including Billie Holiday, Glenn Miller Orchestra, Duke Ellington and orchestra, Bing Crosby, The Andrews Sisters, Roy Rogers, and many more.
Songs That Got Us Through WWII Vol 1 is also available from Altissimo here.

US Marine Band - Symphonies of Wind Instruments: Disc on Demand - 754422609920

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:59:19 -0500
]]>
Although by common definition this recording presents five "symphonies" for winds, only one would truly be considered a symphony in the formal sense. Other than the obvious commonality of instrumentation, the one thing all of the pieces have in common is that each is a product of accomplished, distinctive and significant 20th century composers. Igor Stravinsky and Charles Ives represent the early part of the century on the album, while Aaron Copland and Joaquin Rodrigo cover the middle of the century. Then end of the album contains music from David Rakowksi who was commissioned by "the President's Own" Marine Band and Director Colonel Timothy W. Foley to compose a piece especially for this album. Symphonies of Wind Instruments plays interestingly like a walk through history, as each composer has his own style and personal influences. This is truly a work of beauty and another reason why the United States Marine Band is known throughout the world for its musicianship and skill.

US Marine Band - Semper Fidelis: Music of John Philip Sousa - Disc on Demand - 754422609722

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:51:15 -0500
]]>
John Philip Sousa got his humble beginning in the band world as Marine, so it is appropriate that this tribute to his work and service be title Semper Fidelis. The world will long remember John Philip Sousa as the March King, which would not be possible without the opportunities afforded him by the United States Marine Band. Sousas performances of his own music were very unique, which created the Sousa Sound. The Marine Band has been recording this sound and Sousas music since late 1800s, when Sousa was actually the director of the band. This album however, directed by Colonel John Bourgeois, is nothing short of a masterpiece and would have decidedly made John Philip Sousa proud. Tracks on this album include some of Sousas most famous marches including King Cotton and Whos Who in Navy Blue. Although Sousa has since passed, his legacy lives on with The Presidents Own United States Marine Band and on this album, Semper Fidelis.
