Edwin Franko Goldman’s energetic composition On Parade is both programmatic and descriptive of parades from yesteryear, complete with bugle, fife (piccolo), and drum strains. In addition, a joyful vocal refrain was included in the 1934 edition of the march with lyrics by Goldman. Edward Lisk's meticulous, modern edition brings this wonderful new march to the attention of a whole new generation of band musicians.

Fantasia in G
J.S. Bach, Arranged by Richard Franko Goldman and Robert Leist
A true wind band classic is presented here with a new recording and transcription as a refresher for experienced band directors and an introduction to new band directors. It was made famous by Fredrick Fennell in his recordings with the Cleveland Winds, along with countless other fantastic performances and recordings over the years. Originally written for organ, this transcription stays very true to the original intent. One can practically hear the registration changes of the organ when playing this well-written standard in the wind band repertoire.

Triumphal Ode
Howard Hanson, arranged by James Ripley
Triumphal Ode is a recently discovered and formerly unpublished Howard Hanson band piece. Editor James Ripley came upon it during his research at the Eastman School of Music. It appears to have been written in 1918 and therefore would be considered the first wind band piece by an American composer. A historically significant and musically interesting piece from Hanson’s early career, Triumphal Ode is typical of his neo-romantic sensibilities and is a significant addition to the band repertoire.

William Tell Overture
Gioacchino Rossini, Arranged by Erik W. G. Leidzen, Edited by Tommy J. Fry
One of the great, classic transcriptions of the concert band repertoire, Leidzen’s famous arrangement of the most popular and beloved of Rossini’s opera overtures has been reissued in a fine, new, modern edition edited by Tommy J. Fry. From the atmospheric opening, through the brilliant storm sequence and following pastorale (with its English horn solo), to the final quick march—this is a dazzling survey of what a talented modern band should be able to achieve.
