Note from the webmaster: We update this web site at least once a week during our summer concert season. Since the program for each Sunday concert is finalized at our rehearsal on Monday evening, we generally post the week's update sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday. Unfortunately, if you are viewing this page on a summer Monday, what follows will undoubtedly be the information for YESTERDAY'S concert.
Jacob says that he's "not very good at picking 'themes' for concerts," preferring to just select music that he likes but, as he was selecting music, a theme emerged and he is calling this concert, "Isles and Islands." He explains that the music could describe a trip from Iowa to the British Isles to the south seas.
So we hope you'll join us for Jacob's "grand tour!" His selections include: Sir Galahad March by Karl King; Three Dances from "Henry VIII" by Edward German, arranged by L.P. Laurendeau, including Morris Dance, Shepherds' Dance, and Torch Dance; Ye Banks and Braes O' Bonnie Doon by Percy Grainger; Bluebells of Scotland by Arthur Pryor arranged by E.M. Pearson; The Girl I Left Behind Me from the Irish Suite by Leroy Anderson; Night in the Tropics by Louis Moreau Gottschalk arranged by Mark Williams; Beguine for Band by Glenn Osser; Soundtrack Highlights from Pirates of the Caribbean by Klaus Badelt, arranged by Ted Ricketts including Fog Bound, The Medallion Calls, To The Pirate's Cave, The Black Pearl, One Last Shot, and He's a Pirate; Selections from South Pacific by Richard Rodgers; and our traditional closing march, The Stars and Stripes Forever by John Philip Sousa.
