Royal Birmingham Wind/Brion - John Philip Sousa: Music for Wind Band, Vol. 21

This current volume of Sousa�s music for wind band presents three exceptional examples of Sousa�s musical creativity. Chris and the Wonderful Lamp is an enchanting retelling of the Aladdin legend, while Showing Off Before Company is a clever routine Sousa often used to open matinee concerts. The painstaking reconstruction of Sisterhood of the States allows us to hear the �ballet� that incorporated music from each of the 48 states for a spectacular show in 1916.
