Decca, 2003 Aaron Copland: Essential Classics This excellent introduction to the symphonic Copland repackages an earlier "Decca Double Decker" (see B000004284). Deleted are "Old American Songs" and added are "Billy the Kid" and "Danzon Cubano". These recordings were made from 1969-1994. The sonics are exemplary. The performances are all very good to excellent. Everyone has their personal favorites of these works so your mileage may vary. ...             Appalachian Spring / Fanfare / Lincoln Portrait5 reviews Copland, Mehta, ... Decca, 1996 Very emotional i totally love this Aaron Copeland classic.             Lincoln Portrait / Old American Songs2 reviews Copland, Kunzel, ... Telarc, 1990 Vintage Americana This album is a wonderful collection of lesser heard Copland gems. The performances have the excitement one always expects from Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops, and it is ever a special treat to hear Sherrill Milnes. A very enjoyable CD.             Giovanni Gabrieli: Processional and Ceremonial Music [Hybrid SACD] Giovanni Gabrieli, Edmond Appia, ...

Telarc, 1993 Soul Stirring, Deeply Moving Music I come to this review with great heart-felt enthusiasm to nudge you a little to purchase this Stirring Album to feed your inner soul that is hungering for deeply moving music for trumpet and organ. I purchased this album years ago, now, but do, in truth, come back to it very often for the soul stirring that only the trumpet can give you.

This is what you'd have to call a specialty CD. It consists entirely of fanfares--nothing but fanfares--some of them as short as 10 seconds long. An interesting idea for a CD, perhaps, but I would guess it is primarily for directors of costume dramas, period pieces, and ceremonies of various sorts. There are 76 fanfares on the disc covering composers ranging from Monteverdi to a trio of modern ...             Twenty Fanfares for the Common Man1 review Twenty Fanfares for the Common Koch Int'l Classics, 1994 Excellent collection. The breadth of the collection is impressive. Biased toward the first half of the 20th century, with some notable exceptions. The Piston fanfare is a delight, as are the WWII-inspired items. The performance is very good, and the recording somewhat less so, but still quite enjoyable.             Marches II1 review John Philip Sousa, Abe Holzmann, ... Marches II i'm trying out for drum major, and part of the try outs is marching an L-pattern, the kind of pattern that you would do in a regular drum major competition. it shows your parade marching skills, your ability to stick to tempo, and your directing abilities. so for tryouts, i need to pick a march and this cd has so many to choose from, its awesome! and its also great if your a band director looking ...             Piano Music 4 Bax, Parkin Chandos, 1998             Greatest Brass Collection Various Artists Intersound Records, 2000             Gamelan of Central Java, Vol. 2: Ceremonial Music1 review Various Artists Ocora Music for special occasions This second cd in the 9-disc series "Gamelan of Central Java" focuses on ceremonial music - music for special occasions. Therefore, as you might expect, the five pieces have a particularly ancient, pure, unhurried, feel to them. It is certainly reflective, spacious music, where the gaps between the notes are as important as the notes themselves. The first two pieces are related to Sekaten, the ...             Purcell: Royal and Ceremonial Odes1 review Michael George, Henry Purcell, ... Hyperion UK, 1993 a voice teacher and early music fan THREE GREAT ODES PERFORMED BY EIGHT SUPERSTAR SOLOISTS AND THE KING'S CONSORT! Henry Purcell (1659-1695) looked like a Florentine prince, was hail-fellow-well-met in tavern and taproom, wrote for the church and also for the stage and salon, was in fact a most likeable young man, as well as a great 'Master of Musick'. Purcell was a master of English declamation. He did not 'write down' to his ...             Paradigm Igor Stravinsky, Bernard Rands, ...

Matthew Locke, Edward Higginbottom, ... Hyperion UK, 1993 Matthew Locke, England's leading composer in the 17th century, was also one of the busiest, writing for court, theater, and church. Surprisingly little of his music has been recorded, but this excellent recording helps correct this. The music has a strong emotional character, with dramatic, often pictorial harmonic effects that are less favored by today's choirs, but the quality of these works only makes us wonder why Locke is not better known. ...             Benjamin Britten performs Benjamin Britten2 reviews Benjamin Britten, Colin McPhee, ...
