In Reply to: What are your favorite band pieces? posted by GC on February 24, 2003 at 11:32:47:
Most of my favorites have already been listed (I especially like Hammersmith, the Hindemith Symphony, and many of the transcriptions) so I'll list some of my top picks that haven't been listed:
Overture to Colas Bruegnon (sp?) - Kabelevsky(?)
Propagula - Linn
Colonial Song - Grainger
Thor - Rouse
Dark Millennium - Schwantner (companion to ...and the mountains rising nowhere)
Scenes - Reynolds
West Point Symphony - Gould
La Boutique Fantasque - ???
Purple Carnival - Alford
Under the Double Eagle - Wagner
Polka & Fugue from Schwanda the Bagpiper - ???
Variations on a Theme of Haydn(?) - Norman Della Joio
Pacific Celebration(?) - Nixon (1st movement "Parade" is unreal)
My opinion for what it's worth...
