Contemporary band compositions, classical music arrangements, marches, jazz, symphonies, overtures. A collection from bands that I have played in throughout hi
Hello and welcome! "Symphonic Band Performances" is a compilation of recordings from several high school and college bands that I played in including the TMEA (Texas) All State Band, the TMEA Region X All Region Band, the Interlochen Arts Academy National Music Camp, the Cal Poly Tech Band, San Luis Obispo, the USAF Golden West Band, and recordings from my h.s. band, Beaumont H.S. and a few band recordings that were passed down to me. Also included are various All State groups and college and university bands. I participated and played in the large majority of these recordings. There are no professional recordings here and every recording is Public Domain. Most are available for free download. Each song has been converted from the original analog or digital source and edited with Audacity or Dak software. In the majority of these recordings, I play the tenor sax or alto sax, b flat or e flat clarinet, or directing. I was drum major for 2 years in high school, I have a BA from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, where I studied music ed, composition and theory. I had about 500 more recordings I was planning to digitize and upload, but this past Nov. 20th, my home was completely destroyed by fire, and all the contents, including all my music and instruments. So, this is it. Please feel free to post a comment here or on my member page. If you like, please become a fan by clicking "I'm a fan" below.

Story behind the song
This is performed by the TMEA (Texas) All State Symphonic Band. The All State Bands were divided equally into two bands, concert and symphonic. I played B-flat clarinet in the symphonic band. Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov was a Russian composer, and a member of the group of composers known as "The Five." Noted particularly for a predilection for folk and fairy-tale subjects as well as his extraordinary skill in orchestration, his best known orchestral compositions, Capriccio espagnol, Russian Easter Festival Overture, and the symphonic suite Scheherazade are considered staples of the classical music repertoire, along with suites and excerpts from some of his 15 operas. Rimsky-Korsakov was a prolific composer, and as a perpetual self-critic, he revised all of his orchestral works up to and including his Third Symphony, some, like Antar and Sadko, more than once. These revisions cover the gamut from minor changes of tempo, phrasing and instrumental detail to wholesale transposition and complete recomposition.
