MODERN AMERICAN BAND MUSIC

 

New Concert Band Works from the Golden Era of American Music.

Presented here are my arrangements derived from the best of Twentieth Century American music. These works, many long forgotten or overlooked, have recently been brought into the Concert Band setting for modern audiences to enjoy.

Please note, this site largely serves as a reference resource. Unless otherwise indicated, most of this music is not for sale or rent, however qualified music directors with an interest in performing my arrangements may feel free to contact me in seeking performance permission from the registered copyright holders for and determining which works might require further permissions. I am always happy to assist in this regard.

For those looking into my arrangements of Ferde Grofé works, please contact me to obtain addition information! These are not for sale unless noted.
